Mine weighed 25lbs with the centercap on. It weighs 55lbs with 275/40/17 Yokohama A520's.

The GTA rims weigh only 18-19lbs each. They are very light. That is why you will see alot of club racers using them.

thanks for the input guys!! i think im doing okay with my current setup weighing in at 49lbs per assembly. Not cost effective at this moment to swap over to 1500 in firehawks and tires.

thanks again
