What is considered light or heavy for a wheel in sizes 18" and 17".
Also what tires are light and which ones are heavy, I have been looking and most sites don’t post the weight of a tire. I have found rims in the 17-19Lb range and to me it seems light but not sure what is actually considered light.
isnt it wheelweights.net check it out… its something like that
For 17" I’d consider sub 15 light.
Are we looking for new rims for the Audi?

Sub 15 is magnesium/carbon light for a 17" or greater wheel. Sub 20lbs for a wide 17 (9" or greater) is extremely good for a balance of strength and weight.

If you can find out the weight and if they will clear my brakes without spacers, I may be interested.
i got motegi track lite’s in 17" and i weighed them without tires they were 14.5lbs i think
The other hard thing is to find them in 5X112 and able to clear my brakes.
Is 24Lbs light for a 225/45-17 ? And on a 18Lb rim, that is the package I am looking at right now.
tire weights are all generally about the same ligheter tires have less reinforecmentand will be good on the street for bumps but have more give on the track, not exactly ideal, I wouldn’t worry about tire weight as I would rim weight

Yup those are the ones I was referring to for light weight rims. When I was shopping for 17" lightweights for the Eclipse those were the ones I was looking at, very light!

but expensive
try rotas, they generally come in an array of sizes and offsets and are usually lightweight.
plus you can’t beat the price.
