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

dont think there would be enough gain to bother.

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...
