How much does a wheel weigh?? by Wilberforce on Tue Jun 17, 2008 3:38 pm
Anybody got any clues as to how much a 15" alloy + tyre is likely to tip the scales at??? My set at home for some reason don't want to give me an accurate number :evil:
Under 30 Kilo all in perhaps?? I'm plotting something, hehe

Cheers,
Jim

I would be amazed if one wheel and tyre weighed over 30kg, I would guestimate 20-25kg.
