06 MCS Rim and Tire?????

I ordered my MCS last week and I seem to be getting mixed answers as to what is comming with the vehicle. I went with only the xeon upgrade so im bone stock. Do you know what wheels and tire size come with a bone stock 06 MCS? Oh! and how much they weight? : )


Thanks

Mike

You should be getting the 16x6.5 x-lite wheels. They're about 17ish pounds and look like this:

Yes, I think your right those are the wheels that they showed me. Are those the r98's that some people talk about? See I am trying to find the lightest mini wheel and then see where my wheel falls in relation to the lightest mini wheel available in 16" and see if it would be worth it to get different wheels.

Sorry, you will be getting runflats. The 16" R84s weigh 17.6 lbs each and the Dunlop SP Sport 5000A DSST A/S tires weigh 23.0 lbs each; for a grand total of 40.6 lbs per corner.
