Just out of curiosity, why does it matter? Putting the FJ on a diet? Haha

 

[shrug] Weight matters. It is not everything, and I am not springing for forged aluminum Volks just to save a few pounds, but it is a factor in almost every aspect of performance.

 

Thanks, apparently my search skillz are suspect.

Of course it doesn't resolve much, one guy says they are 29 pounds, another says they are 46.

Frankly 46 seems too high to me.

 

I have a '13 that I swapped the original 17" alloy wheels out for 17" OEM steelies that I ordered from some place in Oklahoma. As I recall, the steelies are said to each weigh 1 lb more than the alloys, so the idea of saving weight with the alloys went out the window. I do not remember the weight of either unfortunately.

 

And that backs up what I was just typing while you posted.

So at least now I know I don't have to worry much about wheel weight in my decision-making process.

 

Here's the thing - everybody keeps saying how heavy the stock steelies are. Turns out there isn't all that much difference...if a 17x7.5 stock steelie is around 30 pounds, the alloy wheel I am considering (Level 8 MK6 -10) is listed as 28.5 pounds in 17x8. Not a significant difference at all.

 

Probably 35.

Stock 17x7.5 alloy was 29 pounds.

I've got a stack of 'em in the garage. I can weigh one over the weekend.

 

I can weigh one over the weekend.

It would be fun to know for sure.

 

Yeah. I'm to lazy to drag one inside... Besides, our bathroom scale is glass... Lol
