OEM Steel rim with tyre weighed 2.2 stone

[K10 SHED]

Just put my spare wheel on the scales and it weighed 2.2 stone, Thats 13.9kg or 30.8lb

wow i thought it would be lighter than that fwn

EDIT: just thought id update this thread with some more wheel weights:


Standard 13" K10 steels (6mm tread) 13.9 kg each
Standard 13" K11 steels (3/4mm tread) 11.7kg each
Standard K11 spare wheel 105/70/14 is 10.4kg

So ive stuck on K11 steels K11 spare and shed 12kg of weight from my K10
It goes alot better now.

thats about right, my super s alloys are 7 kg (over 2 kg more than my steelies ) and about 12 kg with the tyre fitted

Im on a role with the scales just weighed my 12" sub box with the 12" sub in it - 2.1 stone 13.3kg and thats without the amp that must weigh a couple of kg on top :doh:

need some lightweight 14's wonder how much the standard pulsar alloys weigh they are 14x6 fwn

you could always get some more power to balance it out a little
i.e 4-2-1 manifold / straight through exhaust etc. if its just a daily driver why worry so much

just looking for cheap power mods.

weightloss i think is the cheapest :laugh:

Well I have some 13" alloys that weigh around 5kg without tyres but they don't as nice as my new alloys

As long as they keep going round, i'm happy. (Y)

gah i was eying up some 100nx 14" standard alloys but 1 with a 175/65/14 tyre weighs 16.6kg

thats would add another 10kg to the car

not putting on wheels that are heavier than what i got :glare:
