  • do long beaches and monte carlos (santa monicas) weigh the same?

    im contemplating a few different winter wheel setups at the moment. i currently have a set of 17" monte carlos (santa monicas) http://www.4130-products.com/wheels/Santa_Monica_.html

    but one of them has some bad rash and i dont know if it will be good to go for another winter or not. im thinking if i can find some long beach's http://www.4130-products.com/wheels/Long_Beach.html i would run one side of the car montes and the other longbeachs. after doing some research they look to be almost the exact same wheel in terms of offset at 38mm but im curious about the weight. if they were to not weigh the same would it throw off the balance of the car or the awd???

    also if someone knows of any longbeach sets for sale ( 2 or 4) that would be great.

    I have read that Monte's are 24 lbs each and Long Beaches are 25 lbs each, close but the Monte is lighter.
