Stock 17's vs BBS 18's..........

INTT · 09-26-2002, 12:32 PM

Since it was a nice day today I decided to clean the back sides of my rims today. While I was rolling tires around I thought I'd run them across the scales and compare the weights which I didn't do when I bought them.

Stock 17" 6 spoke with Bridgestone REO 040
225-45-R17 weight in at 52 lbs.

BBS RSII's 18" with Michelin Pilot Sports
225-40-ZR18 weight in at 43 lbs.

Don't get excited, I just used some bathroom scales that were handy, but the difference should remain the same.

Thought someone might find this info usefull.

Later, Brad INTT
