The elusive Shelby Super Snake Wheel Weights

[Blaine]

***TOP SECRET*** Alcoa Wheel Weights.:beer:

20X10 Alcoa Wheel (32 LBS)

20 X 9 Alcoa Wheel (30 LBS)

Not the lightest wheels in the world. I'm only using mine for daily driving. I plan on purchasing some Bogarts for the 1/4 mile.:rockon:

Those are the best looking wheels for the shelbys. Post some pics when you get them on. Are they still hard to get????

That is a little on the fat side. Although, the last wheel I weighed was a Saleen Magnesium 18x10. It was 18 lbs.

These wheels are gonna be for looks. Not a performance wheel at 30 lbs. If your looking for some track tires.. Bogarts would be the wise choice with some real meat under the wheels, which I'll be getting soon as well.

They were on a long back order. Took me 6 months to get mine. They should be on in the next day or two since I'm having coil-overs put on at the same time.

How much do stock wheels weigh??

 

[Blaine]

How much do stock wheels weigh??

36 LBS/each for the Stock GT500 Wheels.

.

 

[steele501]

24.5 LBS/each for the Stock GT500 Wheels.

Super Snake isn't 5000 lbs on accident!!! Heavier wheel weight + Almost 50+ lbs for the BIG BRAKE kit+ weight of KB supercharger ~40 lbs..... it adds up fast.

Is it really?:dw:

Is it really?:dw:

4,000 lbs not 5,000 lbs... sorry typo.

Factory wheels are pretty light out of the factory. Going from 18's to 20's is usually going to give you a weight gain once you factor in the increased weight of the bigger tires as well.

24.5 lbs is whats listed in the Ford Catalog. Of course once my factory wheels come off I'll get the weights off them as well.:read:

 

[Todd03Blown]

nice wheels!!

 

[blkGT500nCA]

I love those wheels

 

[Gojira]

Damn those Alcoa's are pigs.

I weighed my stockers and they came in at 29lbs. So yes please weigh yours without the tire pressure sensors nor wheel weights so I can figure out if my scale was wrong or of the Ford Catalog is wrong.

Here is the Alcoa 20's Weight VS. GT500 OEM Weight!!!!:beer:


Here is the Weight of the OEM 255 45 18 Tire. (22lbs)

Here is the Weight of a 255 45 18 TIRE + WHEEL (58 lbs!!)

58lbs -22lbs = 36 LBS for the OEM wheel weight.... alot higher than I expected.

The OeM REAR Wheels are 2 lbs heavier.

So the Alcoa wheels are 6 lbs lighter than OEM GT500 wheel:read:

Well you also have to factor in the TPS and bands.

cool:beer:

But what are the weights of the 20" wheel and tire together??????

My guess is that the 20" wheel and tire combo still weighs more than the 18" wheel and tire combo

 

[me32]

so what thats the wieght of the new 2010 GT500 18's an 19's

I shall have those weights soon. I had the weights of my 20" tires, but I can't find where I recorded them. oke:

TireRack quotes the Pirelli P Zero's (which come standard on the SS) at 25lbs. for the front 255's and 26lbs. for the rear 275's. Other brands in 20" may weigh more (or less), but since we are comparing the SS wheel weight, the P Zero is the only tire to compare. It appears that the 20" Alcoa's w/Pirelli P Zero's and the factory Ford GT500 tire/wheel assemblies are very similar in weight, assuming we are weighing brand new tires vs. brand new tires with no tread loss which equals weight reduction.

The Pirelli specs also show some "specific built" P Zero's in these same sizes and they are heavier, but they are specifically listed for, Audi, Bentley, etc.

Thanks for getting a "real" weight on those Alcoa wheels.

Thanks for the 20" tire weights. That puts the Alcoa Wheels + Tires about 3 lbs lighter each than OEM. Not much, but sure beats ALOT heavier OeM that I was afraid they would be.
