i own a 2004 mini cooper with the R/F option so i have the 16inc Wheels my question is how much do they weight? and what are the lightest wheels anyone has on there car and have they experenced any wheel flex?

 

 

Thanks a Ton SayGoodbye the wheelweights site was extemely comprahensive and i found that my wheels are 20.1 lbs i really appreciate it.

 

Most OEM wheels are heavy.

15" holey (7 hole) rims are 12 pounds each

Many 16" rims are from 16 to 21 pounds each

Many 17" rims are from 21 to 25 pounds each

Aftermarket rims are very light dropping about 3 or 4 pounds from each wheel range listed above but they cost much more and sometimes they can get damaged from potholes and tires with stiff low sidewalls.

Wheel flex is not something that is easily noticed most of the time by MINI owners. You might ask Alex@tirerack.com about that one and whether it is of significance.
