Default what do foose N's weigh?

hey guys, okok, i know i could look this up, but i tried for about 3 minutes and couldnt find the weight so this is easier because i know one of you knows how to find out quickly. anyone know how much 20" foose nitrous weigh? and in comparison how much our factory 17" bullitts weigh? thx for the help. i already bought the foose rims but dont have rubber yet lol, but they feel really heavy and im worried and starting to think i might have to sell them if they are crazy heavy.

Just go get on the scale while holding the wheel, then get off and see what you weigh and subtract the two. Or just put the wheel on the scale if it'll stay.

I find that a lot of sites don't post wheel weights, probably due to a combination of laziness and not wanting to advertise how heavy most wheels are.

I will make a guess for you......40-50 lbs a piece not including tread. Just a guess though I know they are heavy esp the chrome ones

ok, I am a loser up at 3:20 in the morning weighing rims[sm=morning.gif]
The chrome foose nitrouse 20x8.5" with a 245/45 Pirelli weighs 56.5 lbs. If my memory serves me correctly the stock 18" bullit rim with tire was 49 lbs. So I would say there is an 8lb difference.
Once you get them on you will become a chubby chaser and no londer will you worryabout weight lol

You will have to get a kenny bell running 11psi like sawyer, then you won't care how heavy your rims/tires are anymore. Just get whatever you want and that 400+ rwhp will turn them just fine on the street!

I've heard that the Steeda ultra/super lites aren't all that "lite". I think I saw someone post that the 20x9.5'sare around 25-30lbs ea.

+1. They aren't any lighter than other wheels in their size. If you want some *really* heavy wheels go for the Roush. 35 lbs. [:'(]

Most 20x10" are pushing 28-30 lbs. To get something considerably lighter (<24 lbs) usually requires a commensurate increase in expense per wheel.
