Nice wheels do you happen to know the stock weight for our wheels by chance? I have a 1999 SE with the 5-spokes. Just curious as to how much weight will be saved.


Quality is remembered long after cost is forgotten.

stock alloys are 17-21 lbs depending on the style...so this set will at a minimum save 16-32 lbs curb weight

But... the real cookie here is that it's rotating weight. 1lb of rotating weight is the equivalent of 10 lbs of curb weight from a performance standpoint, so losing 8 lbs from the two front drive wheels is like taking off 80 lbs of ballast.

Don't suppose you could get any 17"s could you? What would the 17s weigh? The 16s won't clear my brakes cool

Velox has a new lightwieght 17" rim available now too, it's 12.5lb, and made from 6061 Aluminum so the b@stard is strong!!

It's forged and is called the PG-5S. I saw it in the latest Import Tuner. Don't know if it is available in 4x108, but we can only hope that the Focus' popularity will make it so.

I can't seem to find anywhere, but I'll spew if they're cheaper than the 18" RS5's I am getting, mind you they are lighter (21lb vs 12.5lb). Oh well. :rolleyes: wink
