ug45cwb Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steady Zeddy Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 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).

yokomo Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Think Rota publish the weights on their main site , the 18's being very close to the rays even though they are wider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bodyboarder Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Thats funny as i weighed my rear 18" rays the other day and it came to 20kg with 452s on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATTAK Z Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Thats funny as i weighed my rear 18" rays the other day and it came to 20kg with 452s on? 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 tyres are heavy beasts and often weigh more than the alloy (depending on wheel size and manufacturer of the wheel) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
