does anyone have the weight measurements for a bare prostar or draglite?

and maybe a measurement with a 28" tire with tubes?

thanks

 

Not enough, that's for sure. I put four Prostars on a Cobra 427 replica I built a few years ago, and they claimed to be "street legal", but all four bent quickly. I couldn't get rid of them fast enough. About 8 pounds for the 15x7's and about 9 for the 15x10's I was using.
They have no strength at all in side loads - which is too bad if you like to turn corners.

 

wow 9 lbs? damn thats light.

i only ask cause im looking at some 15x10s from a guy and they weigh 28lbs a pop....

 

i wanna get the prostarXP 17x11 for my rears (17x9 front).......i emailed them to find out how much they weigh, ill post if they respond.

 

28lbs for race wheels????????? haha!
stock camaro and firebird rims weigh 20lbs each and the 17 and 18" rims weigh 25lbs.

28lbs is too heavy......get some welds or pro stars.
and yeah........the aluminum race wheels weren't built for all around driving.....just straightline(drag).

 

isnt it like 1 lb of rotating = 15lb of regular weight?

 

Eh, no. 1 pound rotating ends up at around 3.8 pounds regular weight

 

i could have sworn i saw a post about some guy who wrote a book that said 1 lb unsprung = 5lb and 1 lb of rotating = 15lb??

 

I had the y2k 17 x 8.5 vette rims on my car before switching to the Centerline drag wheels I have now. Those 17'' vette rims with tires mounted weighed about 45-50lbs each. I now have 15x6'' convo pro's up front that weigh about 28lbs with tires mounted on them and the rear 15x8.5's weight about 32lbs.

 

ttt

how much "actual" weight will i be putting on with these? they are way cheaper than the prostars, so if its not alot, then ill just buy them and deal with the weight

 

i just got this email back from Weld about their prostarXP wheels:

17x9 weighs about 16 lbs a 17x11 weighs about 19 lbs.
