I'm not sure, but I would guess 40 pounds, give or take a pound or two. But you WILL notice a difference if you put them on your car. I just put 17" Bullitt's on my SN-95 3.8...and I felt quite a difference, I had 15"s before.

When I added my Cobra R's I immediately noticed a difference. The entire back end felt extremely heavy. I wouldnt reccomend getting 18's, unless you want your car to be all looks, which is basically what I've done to my car.

What do you mean by difference? Is it just that it feels heavy?

Not only do they feel heavy, but you will lose a little milage, and wear your brakes out faster. It's called inertia.

So basicly, any noticible changes will be too small to worry about. Is that about right?
