dunno bout the weight but im sure they will be fine. how much?

Tobs

 

[ryanjfo]

yeh the guy said they were 13.5kg each

 

[Toby@ToyTuning.com]

Are you sure? Is that with tires? T

 

[ryanjfo]

does anyone think i should get lighter ones like rays or buddy clubs 16 orsomething

 

[ryanjfo]

err i think its without tyres...do u measure the size of the wheel with the tyre? it says their 15s on the page i brought it off

Hey mate,

We have a huge selection of wheels available, if your looking for something cost effective then the Rota wheels are well priced and very light. I wouldn't dis-regard them then they really don't look that heavy. 15 inch is the rim diameter without sire.

Go on stand on the bathroom scales, measure your weight, then hold a wheel and re-measure. We know rough weights of tires so can see what they approx weigh. Also no need for 16's at all

13.5kgs is that heavy for a wheel?...

 

[ryanjfo]

on the mag itself its says 500kgs

 

[Toby@ToyTuning.com]

There probably 5KG, 13.5kg is mad are they made of plutonium!

Get on the scales

T

 

[ryanjfo]

lol it says 500kg i think we are getting confused do you use the metric system or the imperial system or wateva

 

[ryanjfo]

actully when i think about it 500kg seems like a hell of a lot lol i think its 5 kgs but it the guy said they were 13.5kg per wheels + tyre

 

[Aidan-G]

500kg???..a bit more and sure thats nearly the weight of a starlet!5kg sounds about right

 

[Adam_Glanza]

500kg the car wudnt move lol that wud mean the wheels combined would be 2 tonnes :| defo will be 5kg there nice

 

[Toby@ToyTuning.com]

Yeah a Starlet weighs 800KG! As ad mentioned 5kg will be about right and there nice

T

 

[ryanjfo]

lol tru tru duhh sorry getting late head not thinking ...hmmm someone put 500kg on the inside of those mags i sware it says it lol but i know their not 500kg must be 5kg or 13.5 with tyre

 

[Toby@ToyTuning.com]

Yeah they will be fine, the NZ boys love giant chrome mags which slow the Starlet hugely so it's really nice to see you have some sensible wheels
