Weight of SVT spare wheel?

[96RedSE5Sp]

Anyone know? Is there a significant weight savings over the stock non-SVT spare wheel? Is it true the SVT spares are aluminum?

svt spare is really light. i'd guess around 13lbs or so

It depends on the year of the SVT spare. The 98 SVT spare is a white painted aluminum wheel, while later models use a black steel wheel.

my car's a early 99 and it has the white/grey light wheel:shrug:

Didn't DemonSVT weight all that stuff already?

How about the jack? Was it in a bag or mounted under the spare? Either it was switched with the earlier style or it was a late-99 switch on Fords part.

mine is black so must be steel. all I know is it was heavy so I took it out!

jack isn't bagged. just mounted under the tire. i'm guessing it was original...i had t use pliars to loosen the plastic wing nut thing:shrug:

I started that thread with the impression that all CSVT's had aluminum spares. Regardless, unless you're on OEM rims... I think the Focus SVT spare is a better option.

My FSVT spare weighed in at 25lbs, my (steel) CSVT spare was 27.5lbs. Sounds like the aluminum CSVT spare is ~5 lbs less than the steel one.

Well I know my 00 SVT has the jack under the spare and the spare is a black steelie.

I guess we need to confirm by finding out from some more 99 SVT owners.

IIRC there was a thread in the past with the weight # of lots-o-stuff in the car. I read it a long time ago, so it was probabley in the old forum. It included the weight of the car with with everything in it and a 1/4 of a tank of gas. It also included the weight of the car with the spare, jack, floormats, and some other things missing. Does anyone else remember this?

I loved the old forum. It still has lots of great info. Here's the link.

my car is a late 99 and it came with the black donut, jack in a black bag, as well as the lug nut wrench :shrug:

 

[CSVT1214]

So I think we can say the SVT aluminum spare was 98-early 99, then late 99-00 was the black steel spare. As for the jacks, it looks like Ford mixed it around for 99 models and then finally completely switched for 00 with the jack under the spare.

I have a spare aluminum if someone wants it cheap

Donuts suck, I have a full size spare in my trunk :laugh:

I was going to get some insulation foam sheets to build the trunk floor up, but I never got around to it and I never put much in my trunk anyways...
