Default new RS4 reps 8.5lbs lighter than my stock 18s

So just like it says, I weighed my super7s when I pulled them off. I couldnt believe my stock 18s weighed in at a whopping 31.5lbs. That's insane! So I weighed my new RS4 reps, only 23 LBS!. Just blows my mind that I sold my used super7s for the same price it cost me for new wheels shipped. All I had to pay for was mount/balance

LOL^ it's funny, because I weighed my stock wheels, and then swapped them out and forgot to weigh the new ones. So I had to call the place I bought them from to find out the weight. When I heard the difference, a lightbulb went off.

um so you called the place you got your wheels from and they told you the weight? so what they gave you would have been without tires.

^yes, both weights were without tires. I would never have guessed that my stock 18s(just the wheels) weighed in at over 31lbs each.

^ the ONLY difference i felt was going from 18" BBS RG-R reps to 17" flik justices.

other than that, ive had about 5 different sets of 18"s and they all feel the same =D
