I was wondering what weight range would be ideal for our IS's, the rims im looking for ship at around 32-36lb for 19", is that considered heavy?. and does any one have a idea of how much stock 18's weight. thanks

Stock 18" wheels are 26lbs Front and 27lbs Rear.

32lbs is HUGE. I know a place that sell round boat anchors that you might be able to attach as wheels....they weigh about the same.

The joke works the same with round anvils also :P


P.S. Good 19's should come in around the same weight as the stock 18's. Great 19's will be even less.

Most aftermarket wheels for the 2IS are in the +27 lb. range. The more bling (chrome, multi-piece constuction, etc.) the more likely the wheel weight will be in the mid to high 30 lb range. I've noticed some here have (unknowingly) purchased wheels that are actually over 35 lbs. and later become very angry when they found out their car was noticeably slower because of the significantly increased rotational mass. Great lightweight wheels in 19-inch applications will be in the 21-24 pound range, average will be 26-29 lbs. The only wheel that I know of that's below 20 lbs. in 19's are Volk Racing CE28's.
