Wheel weight

[ug45cwb]

Just weighed one of my Rota GTR 19x9 wheels and it came to 22.4kg (with falken fk452 fitted)

Does anyone know how this compares to standard rays, LMGT4's, or any other after market wheels?

Thanks

My rear 19inch LMGT's weighted very similar (23kg) with F1 Eagle tyres. I guess a more accurate assessment of the rim would be weights without tyres though on similar width rims but the fact the Rotas get so close on weight is impressive - though theres no doubting the superior quality of the LMGT's (I've had both).

Think Rota publish the weights on their main site , the 18's being very close to the rays even though they are wider

Standard Rays Wheels

Rear Size: 18x8.5 Offset: + 33 mm Weight: 18.62 lbs Tyre: 245/45/18

20 kg = 2.2046 x 20 = 44.09 lb ........... so the weight of tyre must = 44.09 - 18.62 = 25.47 lb = 11.55 kg

 

sounds about right

tyres are heavy beasts and often weigh more than the alloy (depending on wheel size and manufacturer of the wheel)

That was 20kg for just one rear wheel and tyre !

 

Just re read now and looks like thats about right
