Wheel weights

[kevinod]

Guys,

going from Al's thread looking for buddy club wheels...

Just wondering what average say 17" wheels would weigh? For example I'm thinking of going with the Evo VIII Enkei alloys, which are somewhere around 9kg I think(?). Would those be considered 'average'?

Would those be considered 'average'?

I reckon so, I'd expect 17x7 rims to weigh in between 8 and 10kg on average. Check out http://www.wheelweights.net/ , weights are in lbs so you're gonna have to multipy by 0.45 to get the metric weight.

I've no idea how much the average weight of alloy's is but having recently had to fit a standard wheel to the golf (puncture) I can tell you my 18" RS4's are quite a bit lighter than the 15" standard replacement steelie....

the buddy club p1 qfs, weigh circa 13lbs for 17s, there made of 6061 aircraft grade aluminium, this stuff is very light and extremely strong, i can testify to this as ive had many a hard crash on me 6061 framed mountainbikes, there still riding perfect now, fingers crossed

just double checked weights QFs weight 13.66lbs for 17x8s,
14.88lbs for 18x9s.
SFs are 17.5lbs for 17s, these are still light and strong to boot, but i cant see them in 18s
