Hey Alan,

I'm sure you're aware that there are different OEM wheels and tires on different models from different years. If you let people know exactly which ones your referring to you're more likely to get help.

 

2008 sport i "heard" rear was like 27 rear and 26 front...i would like another source though let me know

 

G35/G37 OEM wheel specifications & after-market wheel offsets : G35 and G37 Suspension, Brakes, Wheels and Tires

According to that post, sport wheel weighs 26.5F/27R lbs

 

Enkei 19" (Front and back)

225/45/19 Bridgestone Potenza RE050A
245/40/19 Bridgestone Potenza RE050A

 

Front = 26.5# wheel + 27# tire = 53.5#
Rear = 27# wheel + 28# tire = 55#




.

 

So if you decide to go aftermarket wheels you'll gain 25+ pounds all around on most CAST setups unless you buy lite wheels(big money). Stock G Coupe Sport Wheels are lighter and more expensive to replace than most stock cast aftermarket wheels.

 

I just bought vossen wheels and I think they are a little heavier than my stock 19's.. Shoulda weighed them when I had the chance :/

You can get back some of that lower weight by choosing the right replacement tires. I have used Michelin PS2s on a CLK350, a 350Z and a 335i with wonderful results, it's a great street/performance tire that also 'shines' in the rain. On the G37S you can save 14 pounds of unsprung weight over the stock Potenzas by mounting the appropriate PS2s. And all the weight is lost at the best possible location - on the wheel circumference.
