Alloy Wheel Weight?

[vladrulli]

Just wondering... how heavy should an average 16" alloy wheel be?

[Nizan]

mmmm dunno if this help but.....my titans are a massive 15KG each aparantly

and o.z reacing superleggers are 6.3KG ......so around 10-12KG at a guess??

[silvasurfa]

this probably won't help but if it's looks you're after i wouldn't worry,

if however it's speed you want, wouldn't some super light 15s be better on a Yaris?

please tell me if im wrong

[yaris30]

I can do 100 on my 17s

this is correct or a lower profile on a light weight 16 can help fill the arches with more alloy than rubber

I find that a bit hard to believe. When physically picking up the superleggers in Halfords they seemed as heavy as mine.

I weighed my 16's in at 15.7kg (on bathroom scales :D)with tyres on and haven't really noticed any performance decrease.

I hope this helps!

Always something to consider, i think im more afterlooks , but in saying that i dont want anything stoopidly heavy, loving the alloys socks, look wicked mate

nizzan.. did u notice any decrease in performance after fittin u 16" titans!!?

[knightrider]

dont think theres gonna be a decrease as standard wells probably weigh a fair bit

no not really mate just better grip being a bit wider, as nightrider said the standard rims are pretty heavy.

The new Atech Range that we are now selling are extremly light

I have just got the wheel weights from the manufacturer in Japan and the R-Sport in 15"x 7" come in at around 5.7kg per rim. The Eraser in 16" x 7" weigh in at 7.3kg and the Cast come in at 6.8kg for the 16" x 7" wheel.

So these wheels not only look good but are also for the performance conscience enthusiast.

Thanks

and o.z reacing superleggers are 6.3KG

apart from the look of them cos i like em

my superleggas were very light when i picked them up,nearly threw

them over my head was expecting it to be normal alloy weight

What is the widest 15 and 16 inch wheel you could get under the arches with minor mods!

[Yaris WRC]

well i weighed the std t-sport 15s they came in at i think it was

15kg including tyres

and the 13 inch steel rims were

13kg including tyres i wasnt impressed especially as my OZ chrono evolutions were the same as the standard alloys!

[knightrider]

how much do your konigs weigh nick?

[s0cks]

I think you'll find that unless you pay a lot of money you will always get heavy rims. There is a big market for alloy wheels, and its only really because they look nice. That's why people fit them.

However, a lot of these people (including myself) are not really wanting to pay £250-£400 a corner (without tyres) for superlight rims.

It once again boils down to how much money you have. The more you spend the better the quality will be.

Personally, I do not think it is worth the money on the Yaris, unless you have big power project in mind :D

[SuperRetard]

I had some ET38 15x7Js on, but they were rubbing quite a bit... now gone down to 15x6Js which means a bit of tyre roll on the 195s.

I think with a bit more offset you could squeeze the 7Js on...

[Yaris WRC]

the konigs supposed to weigh 13-13.8 lbs i think thats about 6.2 kg.

and they are 15x6.5

superretard what profile you running 195/45 15?

[knightrider]

yeah dale(superetard) is running 195/45/15 contisport contacts

how much where your konigs nick?

seem very light!
