Title: Weight of a wheel
Post by: jonnycool on 20 October 2009, 20:47:42
How much approximately in kilos will a 17 inch facelift elite wheel and tyre weigh? I need to know because I've won a wheel on eGay but the seller won't post it ( >:() and I've got to arrange a courier service to pick it up. Therefore I've got to know the approximate weight.
   I can't get one of mine off yet cos I've lost my locking wheel nut key  :-[

Does letting the air out make them lighter?

That has got to sound a really daft question but I had to ask ;D ;D

I could ask him to do that, don't think fresh air will weigh much though  ;D ;D ;D

Thanks for the help everyone  :y
