Hello,
Does anyone know how much the wheel & tire weighs from a W210 with 17-inch wheels, like the E430 wheels, or Sport package? I'm specifically looking for data on the 17x7.5 ET37 wheel with a 235/45/17 tire mounted. Info on the 17x8.0 wheel would be fine too, and if anyone has data on the stock 16x7.5's wth 215 tires that's even better! A bathroom scale should be accurate enough, that's what I used.
The reason I ask is that I have a set of 17's that are quite heavy, and I can feel the difference in driving the car compared to the stock wheels - particularly when leaving a dead stop. I'd like to know if the OE W210 wheels are any lighter. Here's the data I currently have - note that my cars are W124, and I'd be using the W210 wheels on the W124 - NOT a 210! (They fit fine, as do 202/203/208's):
15 x 6.5 (stock 124), with 195/65 tire = 35lbs
16 x 7.0 (stock 202), with 205/55 tire = 40lbs
17 x 8.0 (Carat), with 225/45 tire = 50lbs
Any info would be appreciated - thanks!
