Does anyone know the weight of the Voxx 212 17x7 wheel?

 

I guess nobody has them yet but they sure look good to me. See attached photo file.

 

I saw them listed about about $500 per set so for that price they are gravity cast alloy and likely to be heavy. Not sure on the weight maybe 23+ lbs each.

You can contact any vendor selling them and ask for the weight of each before buying.

Most of us are looking for 17" rims that weigh about 14 lbs each or lighter but those are likely to be forged wheels which are usually both light and stronger than cast rims.

 

Don't forget expensive! In everyone's opinion, is a 17 in. 17lb. wheel considered a light road going, cast wheel? Thats what the Fliks I'm looking at weigh...

 

Yes, really anything under about 20 lbs for a 17" rim is quite good.

14 lbs is about the limit for very light rims and true, usually pretty expensive but not always. I have seen Centerline 18 and 17" rims for clearance due to overstocking about $159 to $179 each. Not bad for the price, doesn't happen all the time. The 17" rims are about 14 to 14.5 lbs each.

 

You guys are right, Voxx said that they are 21 lbs each. I better save for the better and lighter ones. Thanks.
