Thanks!

I don't think we've had anyone with the updated colt weigh their wheels yet! Anyone out there care to help out with this?:)

[Macca]

06 was around 10kg with tire i think

[Corosith]

Just did a search, Steve-B weighed the standard rim minus the tyre (06 model), and it was 9.5kg. :)

thats heavy! how bout the updated colt anyone has any idea?

[Frogman]

The new ones are meant to be lighter... That's all I know

[JayMan]

I'll eventually get around to giving my calipers a clean/paint... When i do i'll weigh the wheels (will be with tyres tho).

The stock 06 rims with tyres' around 18kg. Measured when i change into new rims.

[Corosith]

They're pretty heavy wheels considering my 18" wheels weigh less than that! Some 6kg buddy clubs would be nice!:)

[27AME]

Buddyclubs actually aren't 6kg.. The latest top of the range forged ones I am unsure of weight, but my p1 originals weighed in at 7.7kg when I first got them

[steel]

Doing a bit of grave digging here, but after a bit of research I have found that the '08 rims weigh 1.5kgs lighter than the '06, which works out to 8kgs each.

The 06 stockies are about 9kg without tyres.
Weighed them on the weekend

the 06 ones are pretty heavy, has anyone noticed any difference by changing to a 17"? i know i noticed the performance differance when i changed to heavier ones on my aurion, and being a smaller car shouldnt u notice it more?

my 17" (konig zero rims) are lighter then the 16" by a good amount (there called lightweight racing rims on the box??) if you want to compare come round you can lift both :p... if you want them ill drop the price lower for ya, since i see your colt is turning out nice :cool:

[Nic85]

The Advan RS on our EVO are 7.8kgs each. Not bad considering they're 18x9.

well in most instances
larger the diameter : less tyre wall

Less tyre wall=less flex which = less rolling resistance = better economy.

better economy = less spent on fuel more money in wallet to pay off ur credit card for buying 17s :D

[edge]

i thought less side wall = better handling?

[Blaze]

The stiffer the sidewall the better handling.
Soft sidewall has more grip on launching.

i got some volk rims 16*7 n 16*8s they weigh 7.2kg and 7.6kg i guess there not that bad ill have pics once i find tyres and some nice color to paint ;)
