Lug Weights

Now that we know that we want lightweight lugs... what ARE the weight savings??

• 370z Washer Lug = 2.69 oz
• Rays 42mm Lug = 0.75 oz

Doing some math gives us the total weight before and after:

• OEM - 53.8 oz
• Rays - 15.0 oz

With the total weight savings coming out to: 38.8 oz or 2.4 pounds.
