Default Wheels and tires?? weight $$$$

Does anyone know how much the stock wheels on a 99 1.8Tq weigh, or how much I might get for them on E-bay or does nobody buy that stuff. The wheels are in great shape(no curb scuffs) but the tires have about 5000 left on them.

15" or 16"? Tires sound worthless.

Default use them for winter tires..

they are also good to have if you decide to sell the car and go back to stock.

Default trying to sell 4 year old tires? good luck!

Seriously though, consider getting some winter tires and keeping these rims for the winter. Or just wait a few more months - people on AW will be looking for cheap winter wheels in the Fall - put an ad in the Classifieds.

As far as weight - who cares? No one is concerned about the weight of 15" rims - they're not about performance to begin with. IIRC, they're about 18-19 lbs each.

Default i know the tires are worth nothing, i have 17's on the way

I was just curious as to the weight because i have 15lb 17's on the way and didn't know how much the stocks weighed, thought selling the wheels would be a way to help pay back for the 17's but you're right about winter.

Default If you get snow, and you got summer tires on the 17s..

you will NEED the 15s for winter, and I'd get some good winter tires on them asap.
