Now curious if anyone knows the weight of these stock wheels with stock A/S tires.

If you look up on Tire rack they often list this info.
They are a good source to compare tire weights if that is critical to your choice.
Hi - I thought I ask my question on this thread. I recently swapped my Dallas 18" wheel for a set of Enkei GTC01. I noticed after the switch that the front wheels do not feel the same while driving:
- on uneven pavement (bump) there is a light rattle sound (it sounds like it come from the front suspension)
- when slowly turning and braking the ABS seems to come on (I say ABS because that is what it sounds like)
The dealer had done the swap and i thought maybe they did not tighten the screws evenly. So i removed the wheels, put them back using a torque wrench to make sure all screws were evenly tight and ensure all tire pressure was set at 38 psi.
But no luck, same symptoms.
Now i am thinking that it relates to the wheel weights, the original Dallas 18" wheel weights 26 lbs and the new Enkei weights 21 lbs.
Can the 5 lbs per wheel make such a difference on the car handling? If so does anyone know how to resolve this problem? is there a suspension adjustment that can be done?

I do not know, i will ask the dealer who install the wheels and get back. I assume the original might not have any and they did not think of having to install some?
yes this is what i have noticed, it is about 1 millimeter too small for the wheel bore, the circular spring around it is not strong enough to stop the ring from making a metallic noise on uneven pavement. i am thinking of getting a plastic ring... but other than helping centering the wheel on the hub bore when putting it on i cannot see any other use for it, so is it worth it?
i did not measure the hub bore, so i cannot say if 75 is for that, here is a better picture of the ring with sizes, not sure what the i in front of 57.1 means
