15 was the weight with out the tire just the rim
ORIGINAL: conceptualpolymer

ORIGINAL: KarTuneMan

So lets say you get a wheel that weighs 14lbs, instead of the standard wich is I don't know....What does the REALLY do for a guy? Does he get .004 of a second faster 1/4 mile? Jeez
Actually, some 17-inch wheels weigh more than 20 lbs - that can be more than 5 lbs over stock and yes, ride and stopping power will suffer to some extent.

15-lbs is highly unlikely for a $100 17-inch wheel. I'd guess that they are more like 18 lbs each.

Your fenders are the sex.
Yeah, cant go wrong with the 5 spoke.
I was thinking about upgrading my 17's to 18's that have a 5 spoke design.
