we can do that once i get a bigger list together if youd like. i still have my pony's with tires so i can weigh them. then i also have a set of waffle rims 02 gt rims and a set of 18in saleens. i also have a stock radiator that i can compare to my aluminum radiator

how much does the stock K-member weigh?

Weighed my street and drag wheels / tire set up the other day
OEM 10hole rim's with 215/60/15 street tire's weigh just over 45lb each, my weld drag lite rear tires with 235/60/15 micky thompsons ET streets where 40lb's

I was pretty surprized my tiny *** street tire's on stock rim's were so heavy compared to a "race wheel" with decent sized drag radials
