    Looking at buying new wheels and found that lots of places have options to search by wheel weight. Out of curiosity, how much do the 16" wheels weigh on the 2008 Grand Prix base? Just curious.

    That depends. My 18" Konig Rims weigh 21 pounds a piece. I think that is reasonably light for an 18 inch rim.

    Does anyone know how much the factory 16" steel wheels weigh? What about the 16" 2003 style torque stars? And finally, how much do 18" charger r/t wheels weigh? I wasn't successful in my searching
