I know the stock GT500 wheels weigh around 28lbs. Well i found a set of replicas that have been powder coated all black and they are claiming they weigh 35lbs each! That seems very heavy to me. Does powder coating add that much weight? I love the look of these wheels and they are at a great price but the weight concerns me. Anyone have any insight? 35lb a wheel is heavy for 18s dont you think? They told me that they weighed them.

 

are they these

no, i added a picture.

 

I don't know too much about powder coating, but I find it hard to believe that it would add 7lbs to each rim..

 

i planned on getting a set of gt500 wheels and having them powdercoated before i bought my saleen wheels... been wanting to see them on a black car.. how much for them?

 

$400 picked up in Cali or $400 + shipping

 

Find a scale and see what they really are.Those GT 500 wheels look really good.

 

me finding a scale is not going to do any good. The wheels are not local

 

are they the factory SVT wheels? if they're the same wheels i can't imagine them really gaining 7 pounds per wheel

 

Those wheels do look really good...
