I guess he just went with heavy wheels and tires with a small little honey in the passenger seat...total opposite from some people on here...17 pounds with tires.... lmao.gif right back at tha wink1.gif

You think he is doing it to rack up on the shipping? Because if he does sell these he will make hundreds off the shipping.

Yeah, just ask Suicide Door Tibby.

I remember when I took off my stockers and mailed them, they were right around 33 pounds per box, which was 2 rims and 2 tires plus packing material.

Dude, how are you weighing your stuff?!?!?! Maybe get a new bathroom scale?

Stock wheel = 18lbs

x2 = 36lbs for just the 2 stock rims, no tires. So how did you get 33lbs with tires?

add tires = somewhere in the 50lb range.

Probably 33 lbs. each wheel/tire combo. I've weighed my stock wheels with Kumho KW-11 winter tires on them and they are 34 lbs.

if you going by the ups weight that might not be right, they go by weight class. soo it might be in the 33 - say 50 something weight class.

Sorry guys, I was THINKING single tire and rim but wrote about the entire package.

The packages were 66 pounds for the rears (some tread left), and 64 for the fronts (Bald).

Sorry for the confusion.
