3.3TT 2022 GT 19" Wheels Question(s)

[AdrianG]

Has anybody independently weighed the 19" wheels on the 2022 GT/GT1/GT2? Since they had changed the style of the wheel, I figured the weight may have changed somewhat. As far as I know all other specifications would have remained the same as the previous iterations of the 19" wheels, but the weight might be different.

IIRC, I weighed the stock wheel/tire combination on my GT1 AWD (Michelin Primacy). If i remember right, the fronts were 52 lbs and the rears were 56 lbs each. I do know that the my new VS10s are a lot lighter.

Those VS10s are probably like half the weight of the stock wheels LoL. What did you pay, if you don't mind me asking?

Based on the manufacturers website they are about 20-22 pounds each. They were about 3K all up, and it was a 5 month wait to get them.

That's quite the commitment. I bet the weight difference is definitely noticeable whilst driving, though.

I usually make that kind of commitment on a new car. I don't how much of it is the better tires, but I can definitely feel a difference when accelerating. Way to easy to hit the daily triple now.

I spend enough on my car as it is! Now you're getting me thinking about much more expensive wheels than I was looking at.
