Aftermarket rim weight.

[Mike-318]

Anyone know of a site that lists the rim weight? Have tried a couple but they do not list the weights. Trying to stay as close to stock as possible to not affect mpg to much?

This is the best website for wheels and tires. It shows the weight for both and will allow you to see what they look like on your car.

Keep in mind the weight of the wheel is only one part of the equation.

With bigger rims you'll have larger diameter, which take more effort (ie. worse mpg) to turn. Lighter wheels are meant to decrease the weight of the entire car for racing purposes, not so much to impact mpg. On top of that, compound of tires, widths, tread patterns, all will in some way or another affect mpg, so the best rule of thumb is to get the wheels you most like, that fit your budget, and are safe to run.

tl;dr - mpg's are a silly thing to worry about when choosing rims.

True will have to keep that in mind, but the 41 mpg was a huge selling point for me since I travel. Reason I traded in my truck. My plan was to stay same size 16" and same weight. Hopefully have my stock tires swapped over to new rims. In that case I do not think I would see much of a difference if at all?

If that's the case, then should be no problem! Just remember to get new lug nuts.
