Wheels Weight
Dear All,
Sorry but I cannot find any information on the weight of the popular wheels here.
(Maybe I should try harder
or maybe someone can share a previous thread)
I would be eternally grateful to know the weight (front & back) of :
1. 17" Original Lexus wheels (as per below pic)
2. 18" F-Sport
3. 20" Vossen CV5
Any inputs on the weight of other wheels are most welcome
The following link has good weight info although it is from another forum (hope you are all ok with it)

I have changed my wheel setup to 19" and i am feeling a loss of throttle response and responsiveness as compared to the original 17".
After learning some about unsprung weight from this forum , it seems that unspring weight is a very important factor in performance, ride quality and handling.
I am now hunting to improve my current set up that feels sluggish with some new wheels and this time round, I hope to get it right with some weight savings.

1. 17" Original Lexus wheels (as per below pic) A good guess would be 22-23 lbs
2. 18" F-Sport 28.25 lbs front 30 lbs rear (info is from a 2IS thread)
3. 20" Vossen CV5 I have no clue but they are cast wheels so they are probably pretty portly.

2IS and 3IS F Sport wheels are not the same.

Thanks to all for your input
Tentatively :
1. 17" Original Lexus wheels (as per below pic) - Approx. 22-23 lbs
2. 18" F-Sport - 28 lbs front 28.2 lbs rear
3. Vossen CV5 - 29lbs front (20x9) and 30lbs rear (20x10.5)
Let's also input Original 18" Lexus wheels weight (Non F-Sport) for some of the brothers & sisters out there
4. 18" Non F-sport Original Lexus Wheels - namely as below :

It made me feel a lot better
I love the CV5 and most of Vossen designs.
Can't wait to see the Flow Formed & Precision Series Forged design !!!
