I have weighed the stock steel without a tire before, it was 15 lbs. The only 17" wheel I have found that even comes close to that are Motegi Tracklights (14 lbs). Everything else that is marked as a "light weight" wheel and weighs 18 to 20 lbs if not more. Also most 17" tires weigh a few lbs more than the stock 15's but I have found BFG G-force sports only weigh about a pound more each. That combined with the pound savings on the Tracklight means you have a 17x7 wheel and tire combo that weighs about the same as stock 15x6's. Next month The Tracklights are going to pry bout $1600 out of my wallet and look damn good doing it.
