Wheel Weights

Would you like me to weigh a 15 inch front and rear wheel and tyre and a 14 inch steel spare ?? i have got a spare set of scales (without nicking the ones from the bathroom) as i have been weighing some of the steel stock that was with the lathe i have dismantled and an engineers surface plate. the steel stock weighed 50kg and i donated it to a local model engineering club ( the model makers buy it from their stock and the proceeds go to a local charity) sold the surface plate too. Anyone interested in a four and half inch BOXFORD automatic lathe?

I think i will weigh the wheels anyway just for interest. :thumbsup:

It would be good to have that knowledge, Bryan. :yesnod: The weights with tyres on does not seem to be available. :nonod:

I know they weigh a lot more than the quoted bare alloy weight.(quoted at 6 - 8.5 kgs)

was a thread on seloc recently about light weight tyres, as its often the tyres that weigh more than the alloys...

interesting thread...

nice to know weights... unsprung mass makes a massive difference.

The weight will also vary, depending on tyre wear, i am going to weigh MGF 15" with part worn Goodyears. :thumbsup:
