Hey guys just curious what the weights are on rims for the following:

6th Gen Monte Carlo LS : Like my original rims, for those that have seen them.

6th Gen Monte Carlo Dale Jr. Edition :

7th Gen Monte Carlo SS :

Thanks in advance.

 

i read somewhere on this site that the 7th gen SS rims weight about 23 pounds a piece

 

I was told that the dale Jr rims are 27 pounds by the company making the replicas, this seems a little heavy?

 

that does seem heavy. aren't they 17s?

 

yeah, when the 7th gens are 18s, so the 17s shouldn't be heavier? lol

 

i know i responded on the other thread but i weighed my factory wheels and got 21.8lbs. it seems a little strange that the 17s would be heavier, but it could be what theyre made of and the design. my 15x6 weld wheels felt lighter than my 14x5.5 centerlines. it may be a difference between all aluminum as opposed to aluminum face with a steel rim, cast/forged, chrome plating, or just the wheel design. i dont really know anything other than the size and weight of the wheels i have. so the reasons i mentioned are purely speculation.

 

Are you wanting to switch to a light-weight rim??

Pontiac torque stars are the lightest W-Body rim (I believe)

 

are those the twisted 5 spokes from the grand prix?

 

Those are the ones

 

if only they were 17's =D
