Got another one widened after my Discount Tire fiasco (paid for by Discount). Factory steely weighs 34 lbs, and after widening 1" from Weldcraft 36.5 lbss. So a 2.5 lb increase, so 10 lbs for all 4 on the car. Of course now I have a spare 9" wheel so if I mount a tire on it I'll swap out the factory spare and there's another 2.5 lbs in the trunk.
