Dont know about the cast or forged 17 inch wheels.

18 inch Viper wheels F 31 lb's R 33 lb's

18 inch ACR wheels F 27 lb's R 29 lb's

This is from the top of my head so may be a bit off, but you can do a search on the subject to find out.

Wow that makes the 20 and 21 pound SSR Comp wheels REALLY impressive - especially since the fronts ar 12" wide. You would HAVE to notice a 10+ pound reduction in the weight of each wheel performance-wise.

I'm pretty curious about the 17" wheels myself.

Yes it is,

But I have you beat with 18x11 front-18lb's each, and 18x13 rear 19lb's each. Forgelines are the ultimate viper wheel .

There was a BIG improvement in car feel and acceleration when I put these wheels on. My car has an AEM unit, and I spent alot of time tuning the traction control in. With the wheels the traction control calibration I had was absolutly worthless, I could not figure out what the problem was for a few min. Amazing how much rotating mass affects performance.

I did a search on them a while ago, there is a web site with all the OEM wheel weights out there. They were not much better, something along the lines of 29lb's front and 31 rear.

Found it,

http://www.wheelweights.net/

A bit slow, but has alot of info. I believe you can find almost every OEM wheel in there.

Thanks Guys.

Which Forgelines do you have? What size tire are you running with the 11" fronts?

Russ, Avi: Thanks for the info.

VR1's, the competition offset version.

I have 295's on them now, and am going to put on 305's next time. There is plenty of room and the wheels are more than big enough.

The wheels saved me 50lb's of rotating weight, scalled the car before and after.

Since you've made the change to lighter weight wheels, how much of a difference in performance do you feel?

 

[Russ M]

Its significant, the biggest thing you notice at first is how much more the car wants to break traction.

And as I said earlier, my traction control tune needed to be completly redone because it started spinning like there was no traction control.

How much do the 18" HRE 547's weight?
Anyone ran any magnesium rims?

 

[Russ M]

HRE's are VERY heavy wheels, typicaly they are about the same as OEM.

 

[DynoDaddy]

That is what I thought. I need some different rims...
