Rim Weights

Post by nicbeer »

Anyone know what would the weight of 15x7 F100 sunraisia rims? Also a comparitive weight of a cheap arse alloy wheel to suit the above. Both 5 stud.

Looking at the differences to maybe run a alloy as a spare as it is lighter than steel.

cheers

The prob with alloys (even as spares) is that you cant bash them out straight in the bush if you hit a rock or lose your traction in a crevice.

I have alloys 15x6 (OE) with 205/70R15 highway tyres that weigh 21 kg, and F100 15 x 7 ROH 5 stud whities with 31 x 10.5 x 15 mud terrains that weigh 30 kg. Save yourself the embarrassment.......besides, the alloys look Grimace...
