Wheel Weight Calculator
Calculate the weight of your wheels and tires. Understand how wheel dimensions, material, and tire type affect your vehicle’s performance and efficiency.
Step 1: Wheel Details
Understanding Wheel Weight
Wheel weight affects acceleration, braking, and fuel efficiency. Lighter wheels reduce unsprung mass, improving handling and ride quality. Each pound saved on wheels has a greater impact than weight saved elsewhere on the vehicle.
Step 2: Tire Details
About Wheel & Tire Weight
Unsprung weight (wheels, tires, brakes) significantly impacts vehicle dynamics. Reducing unsprung weight improves acceleration, braking, and handling. Rule of thumb: 1 lb of unsprung weight = 4-6 lbs of sprung weight in terms of performance impact.

Weight Analysis
Weight Impact Formula
Performance Impact = Unsprung Weight × 5
Unsprung weight (wheels, tires, brakes) has 5x the performance impact of sprung weight. Reducing wheel/tire weight improves acceleration, braking, handling, and fuel efficiency more than reducing body weight.
