Place to find Weights for Stock Wheels
 
Anyone know of a good resource to find the weight of stock mustang wheels? I was looking to replace the wheels on my GT/CS with something lighter, but cannot find a site that lists the stock weights...

Any help greatly appreciated.

It depends on which wheel you have stock.
The weights are different from wheel to wheel. :(

18x8.5s?

well yeah, that much I know. but even given the dimensions of the wheels, the weight may vary by design... GT500 should be lighter than stock V6 wheels, etc. Was hoping for some hidden, super-secret Ford site that lists weights for the wheels by design and dimensions.

BTW.. the scales pic while amusing isn't helpful since the wheel weight vs the wheel/tire weight will be vastly different and I'm not gonna strip the tire off the stock wheels just for this comparo

From the link below stock wheels were estimated 29-33 lbs, with a gt500 owner weighing his at 35 lbs. However no manufacturer specs were referenced. http://forums.themustangsource.com/f...stangs-510406/

But going back to the scale/tire pictures, the below site list the tire at 33 lbs, so weigh your wheel and subtract and you're in the ballpark.
