What is the standard weight of a 17-inch wheel hub?
2 Answers
17-inch wheel hubs generally weigh around 10.00KG. Below are the specific details about 17-inch wheel hubs: 1. Center Bore (CBD): 57.1mm; Offset (ET value): 40mm; Size (Diameter): 17cm; Width (J value): 7.5cm. 2. Manufacturing Technology: Casting; Bolt Pattern and Pitch Circle Diameter (PCD): 5h*112mm. 3. The wheel hub is the rotating part that connects the tire's inner rim to the wheel center via spokes, i.e., the metal component supporting the tire center mounted on the axle. 4. Also known as wheel rim, steel rim, or simply rim. Wheel hubs come in various types based on diameter, width, forming method, and material.
I usually drive SUVs and sedans, and there's no one-size-fits-all standard weight for 17-inch wheels. Typically, factory aluminum wheels range between 8 to 12 kilograms. From my experience, lighter wheels can save some fuel and improve braking responsiveness. But material makes a big difference: steel wheels can weigh up to 15 kg, which consumes more fuel; forged aluminum wheels are lighter, around 7 kg, making them better for performance. Remember to match the wheels to your car model when changing them—too light might cause deformation, too heavy makes acceleration sluggish. I also recommend checking the vehicle manual or brand specifications; the right weight ensures smoother and more confident driving.
