Rittmeister 04-30-2002, 09:34 PM How heavy does a wheel have to be before it's considered too heavy? I just found out the weight of my rims. 17.5 lbs each. Also, anyone know the weight of the stock B13 and B14 SE-R wheels? TIA Stiletto 05-01-2002, 07:15 AM my rims weigh approx. 15 lbs.

Stiletto 05-01-2002, 01:32 PM Chrissy, i'm ashamed!! you've never been to my website?! ;) i have the stock titanium rims. my cheesy deduction of the weight was by weighing myself w/ and w/o the rim in my hand, on a regular digital house scale. prolly not the most accurate method! :D MaddMatt 05-01-2002, 08:51 PM B13 SE-R rims weigh in at 16.5 lbs. I weighed one on the calibrated lab scale at work (when I had a job :( ) RySE-R 1 05-01-2002, 09:34 PM Wow. That's relatively light. Now I feel bad about having my 19 lb 16 inch wheels on my car! Chrissy 05-01-2002, 10:29 PM Yeah yeah. I'm gonna check it out sorry. I am ashamed also. :) And yes I think your weighing is a little off ;) Originally posted by Stiletto Chrissy, i'm ashamed!! you've never been to my website?! ;) i have the stock titanium rims. my cheesy deduction of the weight was by weighing myself w/ and w/o the rim in my hand, on a regular digital house scale. prolly not the most accurate method! :D CowboyDren 05-01-2002, 11:58 PM Originally posted by Rittmeister How heavy does a wheel have to be before it's considered too heavy? Any weight > 0 is bad. Rotating mass is especially bad. Lighter is better, for lots and lots and lots of reasons, but you have to compromize between weight, strength, and looks. I personally wouldn't think of a 16" wheel heavier than my own 18lb stockers. | ||
