I think they are probably similar to the RCF wheel weights:

Read both pages.

Not familiar with the RCF wheels. They're saying it's 26-28 lbs per wheel which seems heavy considering ours is made by BBS. Is RCF wheels made by BBS?

^^^^Yes, and forged too. All "F" vehicles have forged wheels made by BBS. This does NOT include F-Sport!

Edit - RCF wheels are also dimensionally identical to GSF wheels, hence the reason I referenced the thread.

So no one know what the Stock weight of the GS-F wheels are?

GSF Wheels specs:Front Wheel Diameter19 x 9Rear Wheel Diameter19 x 10

I was able to find specs BUT no mention of weight. Even though they are similar to RCF wheels, does not mean the weigh is identical!

Seems heavy for BBS but they may be more reinforced since they are OEM wheels.

Random question, if I wanted to chrome the oem BBS wheels, does that add to the weight at all? Assuming no but just curious on the feedback.

Here's how it's done properly: https://arlingtonplating.com/substra...g-on-aluminum/

Or: https://arlingtonplating.com/capabil...ickel-plating/

It will definitely add weight to the wheel(s).

This is good stuff, was thinking about it for my 19 fsport wheels or when I get the GSF, the BBSs. I've had aftermarket 20s for about 20 years now on my cars and was thinking the oem route next.
