how much do the sock sport rims weight?

 

I would guess somewhere around 19lbs (though, they're 15's. The 15" slipstream is under 13lbs).

 

19 seems a bit high the si 17" wheels are 21lb i believe.

 

who gives a s**t if they are played out...whether they are spoons or rotas...if you like them get them...you will be the first in NY to have them so take that title...i like rotas and i am looking to get a set myelf...i like the GT3 which is a knock off of the GAB sport rims, but who cares they are good quality knock offs...when i make more dough in life then i will buy the expensive s**t

 

here is the GT3...i like it... and to see the REAL GAB rims check this site out...its also a good site for old school rims

somebody posted a photo of a stock 15" sport wheel and tire on a scale reading 35.75lbs. I'd assume the tire weighs about 18lbs (=17.75 # for the wheel eh?)

 

thanks, 17-18 lbs (est.) seems fair to me. It will be from this weight down, that we should be loking for aftermarket rims. So far Kazera KZ-V, Finish: Silver w/Machined Lip, Bolt Pattern: 4-100 16x7 $119 each ** Lightweight: 16.5lbs is a plus one size while weight less (est) than the stock ones. Less weight means less mass, so better handling. I belive that is the way to go. Also, I know that this rim is only an example, and they will be people that do not like them, but is just to make the point, there are others.

 

I saw some 15x7s on ebay white/red for like $300-400

 

these are 16" slipstreams. not had any problems with them yet

 

there are also the Nippon Racing ones on EBAY that are good price, i had a friend who used to run thier knock off TE37's a couple years ago, he never had any problems...and they looked almost identical to my volks

 

Thanx for the weight info's.

 

substance with style. i have taken them on everything from Mt. runs, to track days and havent bent them yet. to the people who say their played out. my response is. only if your so in to shows that you cant see straight and dont understand how good this wheel is for the price.

 

THATS EXACLTY WHAT IM GETTING THANKS!!! btw did you drop it? ty

 

andy can you post a side profile shot of your car??

 

Check out the Black Fit Thread here, down at the bottom of the page....they do look damn good!

 

yes they do especially with the red lugs to accent them

 

So paulo107 did you get the red gt3 yet. I have a set of gold Gt3 on my purple fit, it looks good.

 

aahahahahahahahahahahaha!

they are a knockoff of a lightweight track wheel

 

yes and one that you used to own no?

 

nope, brosef owns them. i just rolled on em for a while. im not knocking them, but for someone to say are a "race wheel" is just wrooooong
