Here's the weight list for the wheels. I think the Multi-Spokes wheels are popular because of the looks.
![]() 25lbs ![]() 25lbs ![]() 25lbs ![]() 24lbs (these are the lightest wheels)

Has anyone found out if one wheel is stronger/better than the other. They all weigh about the same. Is the 5 spoke just as strong.....right now they are less expensive! $110 at the dealer

I have 3 sets of the stock 5 spokes. i've never had an issue and i've done my share of off-roading. maybe lowell can chime in with his experience with the ford racing wheels. he has WAY more off-road experience than me.

![]() There was at least one of the wheels from #67 that survived. Kisner, just because you won the Great Lakes Region Season Championship doesn't give you the right to point out my driving indiscretions. Or, maybe it does? Anyway. Hope your stuck in a snow drift right now.

Just an FYI, there's another pretty current thread in the Tire/Wheel/Brake forum that has pretty different info from this one on the stock 17" wheel weights.
http://forums.focaljet.com/tire-rack...ight-eaps.html From that thread, Steve from Tousley Ford weighed all of these wheels on his shipping scale: EAP multispoke wheels: 21 lbs. 5-Spoke SVT wheels: 21.4 lbs. 6-spoke SVT wheels: 20.6 lbs.

I got about 21 or 22 when I weighed the ones on my SVT's, and then with Khumo's about 44-45lbs. per corner total. R compounds are HEAVY with all that stiff sidewall for street use.
I have two sets of Team Dynamics that are 16 lbs. for the Sonic Blue DD. ANyone want the grey color ones? $150 new, sell for $100each like new. No further discounts. Firm price.

I've weighed this wheel and a 215/45-17 Hankook R-S2 together as an assembly at 41 lbs. Did not have a chance to weight the tire or wheel separately first.

Have Roger at the TireRack weigh it. I have made this request before on a different wheel. 21.3lbs sounds close if not exact to me though. I am pretty darn sure the weights Leo listed are Ford's shipped weights. Shipped weights tend to be inflated.

What does it really matter? They are what they are. Then depending on what you do for balancing, they'll weigh more.
Sure there are some differences in the different models... but that bears no difference on how strong they are.

But when someone asks how much something weighs, it's nice to have an answer if only to satisfy an aspect of the bench racing discussion.
