lomoto Posted June 6, 2006 Posted June 6, 2006 Just got my new wheels bolted on this evening, 19" Ruff with polished rims .. I wanted black centres after seeing Kevs on the Wales trip out but they werent available straight away so plumped for the graphite ones (could always spray them at a later date if I find I cant live with em ! ) Quote
neo Posted June 6, 2006 Posted June 6, 2006 looks excellent m8 they do remind me of the ones on a ferrari 355 but yours are more deeply dished n polished Quote
lomoto Posted June 6, 2006 Author Posted June 6, 2006 Oh yes forgot to mention I bought them from this Ebay seller ... bigwheels4u ...really good service Quote

Jacko Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 They are lovely, ..... How much does one of them weigh? Just wondering in comparison to a Rays, I keep thinking about changing mine..... but not putting anything heavier on. Anyone know how much the Rays weigh? Quote
Removed Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 18Kg without tyres IIRC very light wheels I have a feeling those RUFF are gonna weigh a bit, but Tim won't be too bothered, as they do look good Quote
lomoto Posted June 7, 2006 Author Posted June 7, 2006 18Kg without tyres IIRC very light wheels I have a feeling those RUFF are gonna weigh a bit, but Tim won't be too bothered, as they do look good He He ,, your right Val , I was going to weigh em before I stuck em on , but decided I wouldnt bother upsetting myself but with my experience with motorcycles with very lightweight wheels I think I will be better of on the normal roads with something with a bit more meat in them, lightweight wheels have a horrible habit of bending !! it,s not as though I,m going to race it anywhere so I just went for the look I liked, probably not to everyones taste ,but it floats my boat Quote
Removed Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 lightweight and not forged I agree they'll prob bend, but if they are proper quality they won't Quote
lomoto Posted June 7, 2006 Author Posted June 7, 2006 lightweight and not forged I agree they'll prob bend, but if they are proper quality they won't I know one or two people with very expensive forged wheels who would give you an arguement Val... Quote
Removed Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 ? uh? re-read my post: if a wheel is forged is as strong and light as it can be made, bar carbon fibre or kevlar ones. There are also lightweight cast wheels which won't be as strong as forged ones Quote

There are also lightweight cast wheels which won't be as strong as forged ones I know what your saying Val, but they still bend ! Quote
Removed Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 any wheel will bend then! even fu*k off heavy ones, given the right circumnstances! Quote
lomoto Posted June 7, 2006 Author Posted June 7, 2006 any wheel will bend then! even fu*k off heavy ones, given the right circumnstances! too right , What I am saying though is the very lightweight ones are OK for track use, but on Englands potholed roads, speedbumps etc.. I think the wheels with a bit more metal in will stand it far better... dont you agree Quote
Removed Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 well depends what you class as VERY lightweight the rays are amongst the lightest 18" wheels I have found. Ok they are butt ugly, but I haven't heard of any of them bending on a pothole Quote
