^^^
Curious about the weight on the OEM Enkie's on the Sport Package. Anyone know the answer?

When I sold mine, I put them on a scale, and I got 24 lbs for the front and 25 lbs for the rear.

Thanks, madmax. For some reason, I was expecting something lighter our of Enkie.
I wonder what the 19" Sport rims on the Coupe weigh?

I think I remember reading around 26-27lbs. Fronts were about 1lbs lighter.

Guys,
Are the 18" Einke's 8 inches wide?
Thanks,
Ron

IDK about the wheels themselves, but they're staggered front-2-back. OEM Front tires are 225/50-R18, and the rear tires are 245/45-R18.
While I'm not looking forward to being unable to rotate, the staggered look will be kind of interesting.

S sedan 18" wheels are 7.5" and 8.5" wide.
It's all in the OM, section 9

Thanks. Good to know on width.
Don't actually have an OM yet. I've hired a Buying Agent to find me my car for next Spring. I'm looking for 2009 Sedan 6MT in Lakeshore Slate or Moonlight White, w/Stone Leather. Clean carfax, under 30K miles.
It's a study in patience, this project is.

I don't have a S, just upgraded my wheel pkg for $500 and hopefully they are atleast 8" wide so I can run 245 45 18 all the way around.
Thanks,
Ron

You should have nothing to worry about. 245 45 18 tires are specified to fit 7.5" to 9" wheels.

The OE sport wheels on the sedans (18's) are 8 inch fronts (not 7.5), and 8.5 rears
Heavy huh?
now that I think about it, the seat of my pants did feel a bit more umph (
) with my volks. Less rotational mass!

Volks, volks, volks... boy, that's a repeated theme on this site.

Thanks for the correction. 8.0" and 8.5"... got it.
