    Anyone know the weight of the stock 15s?

    Im thinking of doing a mild drop and some better looking 15s as long as I can find out the weight of the stock ones and then find some lighter, possibly even get some black smoothies if I will not run into brake overheating problems.

    Anyone have pics of a lowered gen 3 on 15s aftermarket or not?

    Thank you
    Joshua

    Approx. 16lbs for the OE 15s.

    The Critic is running stock 15s with TRD springs. He doesn't like the combo, however.

    I've ran a GenII on stock 15s and Eibach spring and it was fine.

    I'm curious if this is comparable to typical allow wheels or lower.

    It's lower than most affordable wheels in that size but higher than some of the expensive wheels like Rays. A few wheels like the mote traklite are lighter but are really ricer looking imo.

    I was thinking of getting some matte black smoothies which may weigh more but also be more aero dynamic.

    Just haven't found any in our bolt pattern.
