Weighed: Pony Wheels Vs. Draglites

[sen2two]

Today I put on a set of weld draglites. Not jegs or summit knock offs.

*The tires are not new so weights would be slightly higher if newer tires were used. Also, brand and style of tires will vary. And weld specific lug nuts are heavier than standard lug nuts. But I don't have a good digital scale so my weights on these are not super accurate.


Draglites:

15x8 4.5" back spacing with 275/50/15 bfg radial t/a tire (worn tire) - 38lbs
15x3.5 165/65/15 bridgstone b250 tires (60-70% tread left) - 23lbs


16" Pony wheels:

225/55/16 tire (heavily worn tires) 44-45lbs.
*varied due to uneven ware.


Weld wheel lug nuts and washers: 12oz (set of 4)

Standard lug nuts: 4oz (set of 4)

Good information to have. I never realized there was that much of a difference in weight.

it's the best place to lose unsprung wt...and to lower those 0-60 times
