Those 16 and 17" versions ov the stocker rims are HEAVY. If they even have a 17" stock car rim. .. At a local tire shop i saw a single 16x8" stock car rim... pretty much like the ones pictured. I had a line on a set ov used but perfect 295/50/16 BFG's and figured mounting them on my Charger would be pretty rad... Brought my handydandy scale in there the next day... 32lbs. OUCH. No thank you. A 17" would be even more... double ouch when you realize these style rims can be had in wide 15" for as light as 19lbs... Hmmm... which has me wondering about another tangent... Time for another thread. My 18" x 10" rims are only 19 pounds too... (the front 18" x 8" are even lighter) 6631042-toranaside.jpg (33 downloads)
