    SSR Intregals II 7 x 17 6.5kgs (Forged)
    [​IMG]
    Compomotive MO 7 x 15 et 12 9kgs (Clearly not forged)
    [​IMG]

    Great thread, but what a disappointment. I had hoped that the Compomotive's would be lighter than 9kg's each. And that's before I put the bloody treble eights on!! Over 18kgs per corner........

    Anniversary edition 7.5 x 18 BBS RC (with VAG part number stamped on it) = 9.9Kg's.

    BBS RC (as supplied by BBS direct - no VAG number) 8 x 18. = 9Kg's.

    Eagle Asymmetric 225/40/18 tyre = 10.1Kg

    Damn tyres weigh more than the wheels....

    I weighed my Oz Superleggera 7 * 15, et37, 4 * 100 wheels on the bathroom scale. Still covered in crap, wheel weights, etc, and they came in at 5.3kg. A clean and no wheel weights will see them at 5kg ish, on a not so accurate bathroom scale.

    There was no ET or PCB and you never stated if the scales had been zeroed to the weight of that heavy farmers twine/wire - so I decided that the figures were grossly inaccurate and just ignored them. :lol:

    Oh yeah!

    But you are willing to post figures from bathroom scales![:x]

    BBS Forged Wheels (BY FUCHS) and Fuchs own wheels, should always take pride of place, in any list of round things.[:*:]

    You had better put the 8 x 17 Old Skool RGs on the list! If I ever find any![:^(]

    OK OK, stop grovelling, ill add it to the list ;):lol:

    And just for you I have moved most of it into alphabetical order.

    I don't suppose anyone has access to weighing many 16" wheels? In particular Porsche 928 7 slots?

    I took the tyres off a couple of Audi Pepperpots today. I knew they were light even with the tyres still on as they were noticeably lighter than various other wheel tyre combos lying around the gaff.

    But 5.8kg without plastic centre caps :o
