_AMG_

19" HRE M40

Front 19x8.5 = 24lbs
Rear 19x9 = 26lbs

superlubricity

Thanks.

Was that with TPMS installed?

_AMG_

Without the TPMS.

BenzoBoi

Great idea on this thread!

Ditch some weight and get some free hp! Can't beat that!

superlubricity

Thanks. Still messing with the format. I'll expand the categories once we get more data pooled.

no loser

Great Thread

We need to mention other CF parts same as hood + trunk + roof

And the LTH from MHP around 58lbs ( that with box )

BO Knows

Does TPMS make a weight difference? It only weight 1-1.5 ounces per TPMS.

superlubricity

Yes.

Wheel companies often weigh their wheels "bare" to show the lowest possible weight. I know the TPMS, hub-centering ring and center cap for each of my Forgestar Wheels weighed 0.175 lbs. combined. That's more than a 1/2 a pound for all 4 wheels (0.7 lbs to be exact). Every little bit counts. Look at all the guys that run titanium bolts on their 3-piece wheels.

Gonna be a great thread. Very useful info. I'd be curious in coilover weight savings if anyone has that data...

superlubricity

I'll add a suspension category. I can weigh the OEM springs tomorrow. Too damn cold in the garage right now.

Most-Wanted

Very cool, thanks. I kow there is generally a nice savings there(40#? for all four).

Even Money

I completely missed this one, although 58 lbs savings over the stock setup seems a bit high.

superlubricity

I weighed the complete system at Russell's place. It was only about a 15-lbs savings all-in. I'll wrote it down somewhere.

nrgy

When I weighed the KW V3s, I recall there was at most a 5# total weight savings over the stock strut and springs.

no loser

Also the Secondary cat delete pipe from MBH 8.6lbs

And the OEM 18.4lbs

Faris63

You missed Dad's Vented hood vs Stock hood

Stock hood weighed 53#.
Carbon Fiber weighed 21#

dodger63

If you guys have the links to the threads/posts where this data in confirmed I'll also add it to the first post.

Sincity

Great compilation of data.

C63fan

Thanks for the great effort on putting all together!

SonnyakaPig

Thanks for compiling this list. Very helfup, Sir.

C63newdude

At anytime feel free to correct me if I am wrong. I know that this thread is about OEM vs Aftermarket and the main purpose is to "save" weight for racing. I always remove my floormats when going to the track. They are a solid 8-10 lbs.
Again, I apologize if this is not strictly a OEM vs aftermarket but I know for sure that a lot of people would like to remove the floormats for weight savings.
