yah I know it seems hard to find the H wheel data.. according to Jon at Parts Rack its a 4 lbs difference upfront and 5 lbs. difference in back.. they weigh less that is... as long as they weight less i'm probably going to go ahead and get em.. I really like the look.

from my weighing of my wheels the shipping weight differences from stock 10 spoke to SRT sidewinders"Blems" are as follows

9lbs per front(i may have the front to rear differences reversed)
6lbs per rear

for a grand total of 30 lbs lighter in unsprung-rotating mass

By the way guys, if you buy the full polished copperhead wheels they are brand new and not blems. I can sell brand new full polished copperhead wheels for:
FRONT $849.95 EACH
REAR $929.95 EACH

WE NEVER CHARGE ANY PACKING OR HANDLING CHAGRE. YOU ONLY PAY FOR ACTUAL UPS CHARGES.

The above numbers are for 4 wheel and 4 tires. Together, mounted, the tire / wheel combination would be a weight savings of 44 lbs total.

by the way your price on the sidewinders is more than what you paid Jon at PartsRack for yours and more than his normal price which i think is

$3,500

blems were/are $1,000 cheaper

Sylvan, you quote " by the way your price on the sidewinders is more than what you paid Jon at PartsRack for yours and more than his normal price which i think is

$3,500

blems were/are $1,000 cheaper"

I did not buy Blems as I have stated before. Did you, if not when did you buy your copperhead Full Polished Wheels? Mine were bought the last week of April 7, 2006, my Po# 0406, and Parts Rack's invoice # 10343.

You must have the inside scoop because I just bought a brand new set of Copperhead Full Polished wheels form Jon and they cost me:

FRONT $870.00 X 2 = $1740.00
REAR $954.00 X 2 = $1908.00
SUB TOTAL ( AS LISTED ON JON'S SITE ) = $3645.00
PACK, SHIP, HANDLE, INSURED = $ 140.00
TOTAL PAID = $3788.00

You can look at his web site here at;
http://partsrack.blastmart.com/customer/product.php?productid=1579&cat=147&page=1

$2495.00 for painted $1150.00 for new full polished = $3645.00 as stated above. Where did you get your pricing form?
THAT WAS WITH MY VCA DISCOUNT ACCORDING TO JON.
I NEVER DID UNDERSTAND THE PACK & HANDLE PART OF THE DEAL AS THEY CAME TO ME PRE PACKED FROM A DODGE DEALER AND NOT PARTS RACK.

After the sale was paid for, Jon decided

I was cut off in the above reply so here is the rest of the story.
After the sale was paid for, Jon decided not to pay me the $1800.00, he contracted for at the time the order was plaved, for my old wheels in trade. I had told him I might sell them localy or trade them, my option, once I got around to mounting the new wheels.
Below is his own words:
" TRADE OPTION: $18.00 REFUND FOR WHEELS/TIRES DELIVERED NO DAMAGE $149 MINOR REPAIRS PER WHEEL"
He told me after the sale was complete that he doid not need them as he had 58 in stock. Not the way we do business at AtRo Racing Products.
So Sylvan, my price for a new full polished set of copperhead wheels is $3559.90 plus real UPS charges only. That makes AtRo racing Products $82.50 cheaper than Parts Rack ( $3645.00 - $3559.80 = $82.50 ). I think that maybe you need new batteries for your calculator. Just kidding. happy vipering!

Young Doc, If you call the wheel company and ask for tech they will tell you the weight of each wheel.
Here are the approx weights for stock oem wheels:
FRONT = 26.75 LBS EACH
REAR = 25.25 LBS EACH

I hope this helps you.

mine are the blems, i did not want to deal with more polished and clear coated wheels and thought that the silver painted versions wouild go better with my car and be easieer to keep clean, which they seem to be so far. as far as the price on them(polished) i may be remembering some special that jon ran for a while.

always good to drop unsprung weight. I'm surprised the runflats only add 10 pounds..

Beautiful rims

In tire weight alone. They also add weight to the wheels.

I was quite surprised also. The sidewalls are very stiff on the run flats. And I agree with you that the silver looks better on your silver car.
