Can you feel different weight wheels

[edevlin]

Its funny the weight on the fedex boxes for the new 18" wheels/tires listed the weights as 40/35 lbs. I just got an email about the wheels from fedex that listed the actual weights as 48.6/52.6 lbs. I weighed the boxes they came in and they wieghed about 3.6 lbs.

Best I can figure the new wheels/tires weigh 45/49 lbs compared to the stock wheels which wiegh 42/47 lbs, not bad, and like the 2-3 lb increase in wieght the seller said I would see with the 18" wheels,

I think we have the same new carrera light rims from wheel dynamics, except I got PS2's, which probably weigh the same as Falkan tires.

My boxes said 33 for the fronts and 38 lbs for the backs, per the fedex tracking page, not the box itself.

FYI, you can also get tire weights from Tire Rack's web site. For example:

If you got 18" OEM Carrera light 5 spokes they would actually be lighter than the 17's.
