My nephew has his and I thought about running these at the track. I let him have the stock ss wheels when I got my new wheels. I lost 0.2 with the new wheels so I'd like to run his NBS stock steel wheels. Anybody know how much these suckers weigh? I'm sure they are lighter than my stock 20's(81 lbs.) Other threads list the OBS wheels at like 60 lbs or so. Hopefully the NBS wheels are about the same weight. His truck is a RCSB basic NBS.

According to the wheel weight thread, the stock steel 16x6.5 wheels weigh 29lbs.:

Since the NNBS stock steelies are 17x7.5, I'm guessing they weigh approx. 35 lbs. Pretty heavy IMO.

Tiretrack gave me a stock tire weight of 33 lbs add that to the 35 lbs rim weight and they should weigh around 68 lbs each. My current tire/rim combo weighs in at 90 lbs each so that's a decent weight savings(88 lbs) I guess. I ask because when I went from the stock SS chrome wheels(81 lbs) to my current 22"(eagle alloys 026 wrapped in Kumho 305/40/22) I added 0.2 to my 1/4 run. Some of the gain might be associated to the distance the weight is from the axle. The 22" are a deeper dish than stock so the wheel weight is further out from the axle. The NBS setup should bring the wheel weight closer to the axle and help. Hopefully the 245 tire width won't give me traction problems. I'll have to test them out before I take them to the track.
