I have a the staggered 17x8 and 17x9 set. I will see if I can get you weight...that's if I remember.

Do style 5's!!

Style 32's do look great though.

That would be awesome!!! Thanks!



And TwoJ's, style 5's are a bit played out and in my opinion don't look all that amazing...plus they don't take lime green very well :-)

Here's some info from BF.c E34 section, IIRC 17" Style 5's weigh in at around 19lbs without a tire.

Just some weights I have taken. For reference; I zero the scale, I weight the wheel and tire (ex. 50 lbs) I weigh myself (ex. 96 lbs...I'm a small girl). I weigh myself holding the wheel (ex. 147lbs.) I subtract the difference, reweigh, and take the average..aka the wheel+ tire weighs 49.5lbs. Home scales suck - so you have to make multiple measurements like this to get a 'true' reading. If you post, take readings this way to keep it comparable and post as such:

Wheel type/size:
Tire type/size: (or put no tire if wheel only weight)
Weight: (uhhh put the weight)

Here are mine:

Wheel type/size: BMW "style 32" 17X8 weight 25lbs
Tire type/size: Falken Azenis 245/40/17 weight 25lbs
Total Weight: 50lbs

Wheel type/size: BMW "style 32" 17X9 weight 25lbs
Tire type/size: Falken Azenis 255/40/17 weight 27lbs
Total Weight: 52lbs

Thanks IloveMpower, however that persons weights seem suspect. She was likely using an inaccurate 5 dollar target digital scale.

I can't imagine that a 17x8 and a 17x9 wheel weigh the same...not to mention she admits her scale isn't up to par.

It's not really a girl, he was making a joke. It's a gentleman that frequently does autocross and also posted up other weights of wheels as well as created the thread. The weights may be slightly off but not by much.

Outrageously heavy 17s, damn!

I want to go 5 lug to be able to run the TRM MT1-R, 17 x 9, only 16.4 lbs!

[shiftbmw]

Yes, outrageously heavy. But the guy admits his scale sucks and his numbers for the 17x8 are the same as the 17x9... I think I'll wait for Chutrain's numbers.

[chutrain]

Sorry about the huge delay. Have not had a chance to weigh the wheels. I will try to weigh them tonight with a mail scale accurate down to the ounces. I will update with my findings.

[chutrain]

So here is what I got:

17x8: 23 pounds and 3 ounces
17x9: 23 pounds and 13 ounces

Thank you good sir.

i've always thought clavin should try the staggered style 32s, just because i want to see it on a silver car.

but yeah that is a lil on the hefty side...
