OEM wheel weights

Stock wheel (16" 5-spoke) w/standard sized tires are 46lbs...most likely the tires weigh around 25lbs. This means that the stock wheels should weigh around 21lbs each.
Definitely hit me up sometime and we'll meet up and chill.

FYI...from another thread I made a while back; crazy what "adding" 14lbs PER CORNER of unsprung weight can do to power numbers on the dyno. A loss of 6whp and 19wtq. But it WAS 30 degrees hotter outside and more humid with my heavier setup BUT I also replaced my clogged cats and had a more aggressive re-tune. Theoretically, if I really wanted to beat a dead horse my car as it curerently stands would probably yield closer to 290whp/315wtq if I would re-dyno with my stock 16's in 45 degree dry weather. It is completely pointless for me to have 16" wheels on...I blow them loose at will in first or second gears...even while rolling through 20mph!
It yielded around 281.8whp and 306wtq. I had my stock 16" wheels/tires on (overall weight = 46lbs/ea). It was approximately 45 degrees out that day. I also had a cat that was probably close to being full blocked; unknown at the time but now known.
This latest dyno tune was with my new 19" wheels and 275 tires (overall weight = 60lbs/ea). It was around 75 degrees out. I had replaced both cats up front to new. This time I got 275.4whp and 287wtq.

That extra weight just drags her down to a stop
