Stinger GT 19 inch wheel weight

[Never thought]

Anyone know how much the 19 inch GT wheel weighs? Can’t find the data anywhere

My very scientific methods of carrying them to my basement has led me to the answer of "quite a bit". Hopefully someone has a more accurate number though!

Any idea what your new wheels weigh and if it had impact on mpg or performance?

The ones I have now are winter tires on 18" rims that I asked to be pre-installed when I took delivery. As with any set of winter tires, mpg is negatively impacted, so I can't really comment on how the rims themselves impacted things.

Has anyone answered the stock 19" wheel weight question yet? I am looking to upgrade my stock wheels with some new 19 inch wheels. I noticed a significant performance increase on my previous car by going with lighter wheels and tires. Imagine shaving 3-5 lbs off each corner! The benefits would include reduced acceleration times, more responsive handling, and improved gas mileage. Anyone with the stock wheel weight, please chime in!

You are/were a -58 driver? Cav at Bragg?

34lbs is interesting. My Jeep had Chrystler "superalloy" 20x10s @32lbs. Wonder what is different in the material...

Agreed. Sounds a little high. My old Optima 18 inch wheels were about 26-27 pounds. If I ever get new wheels, I’ll weigh them and confirm.

No, always ATK units. Main ones were 1/2 ATK @ ROK and 2/229@Rucker. I was never lucky enough to wear the Stetson... Haha.

Wow, just think, if it is 34lbs... what a huge opportunity for a performance upgrade! Saving 8-10 pounds from each corner in rotational mass is equivalent to a much larger mass loss of "sprung" weight from the car. Coupled with a lighter driveshaft and brake rotors, I would think that these changes combined would equal a savings of a 1 to 2 tenths in the quarter mile. Better handling and stopping would likely occur too. Conventional wisdom estimates that 1 lb of unsprung (rotational) weight is equivalent to 2-3 lb of sprung weight. It could be like shaving over 100 lb from the car.

Yeah if 34 lbs is correct we have tons of weight loss opportunity! Amazing. There is easy 50 lbs off the car

Hi

Is it the weight of the entire wheel including a tire?

 

[SteveCo]

Is it the weight of the entire wheel including a tire?

Wheel only. I weighed the wheel and tire combined from the OEM 19" staggered setup as 55-59 lbs.
