Wheel weights

Postby simontaylor » Mon Oct 06, 2008 9:08 am

I am just doing a little research into wheel weights and I am after the weights of original turbine wheels, front and rear. Just the wheel, excluding tyre and cap and bolts.

Anyone got any lying about? prefer pounds, as that what my bathroom scales work in.

I have a front without a tyre on in my garage.
I'll weigh it this evening.
Also have a rear but that has a tyre on it.

My digital bathroom scales have pounds and KGs.
As 1lb is "about" half a KG, then weighs in pounds will be "about" twice as accurate.

Cheers Lee, results of research to follow later.
