Default Differences In Weight?
Does anyone know the difference in weight between the stock 17' sport rims compared to the Cragar 17x9 soft 8 rims?

I do not know the exact weight, but if those are the steel cragars I'm thinking about then they are going to be heavier. Going from the factory aluminum 16s to steel Pro-Comp 16s I'd estimate I gained 33% more weight per wheel.

Just a guess

The stock Sport rims are not aluminum though, I believe they are steel as well, so I would be curious as to know just how much more
