A bit late to the party, but does anyone know how much those 17x8 double three spoke wheels off the 1995 GT weigh?

weighed a 99-04 17” starfish wheel. My first thought when i picked this rim up was that it was noticably lighter than what I was used to when picking up SN95 17x8 wheels.

20 lb





Same scale as the other wheels. Weighed one of the 98 cobra wheels and got the same number I had before. These things are light!

I weighed one of my saleen speedline 18x8.5 wheels.
Probably shouldn't have.
It's currently bare finish at 28.1lbs.
Looks like i have the heaviest wheel here, not a category i really wanted to win.
Picture is for reference, not the exact wheel i weighed, but the same wheel. (i didn't take a pic on the scale).

There has to be plenty of guys with the 18 new edge saleen wheels.
I'd be curious as to what they weight vs a speedliine/lemans style.
Also a new edge saleen vs a replica saleen.
I'll guess the issue is going to be everyone has tires on them.

I'm happy my gt premium rims are the lightest 17 inchers. I only got them to clear the cobra brakes.
