VTS Wheel Weight
 

Searched before anyone says that. Lott of talk on here about loosing weight from cars etc etc. And just want to know the standard weight of a VTS wheel, rim only no tyre.

Think its about 9kg iirc

thats quite heavy for a wheel right ??

Not really I dont think

it is when you compare then to oz and team dymamics etc..... iirc vts wheels are about 3 kilos heavier each so thats 12 kilos more weight on a full set

yeah but oz and team dymamics are aftermarket wheels and designed to be lighter as used alot in racing :y:

well yea mate. some people are really keen on weight saving so change the wheels, i personally cant be arsed changing my wheels. i love my vts wheels!

adsayer was gonna weigh one ages ago, dont know if he ever got round to it. Could be worth a PM

Yeah thats what I read, hence I started thsi thread..

I am sure I wont be the last person to ask this

When I get some new tyres I'll grab one wheel when they take the tyre off and take my fishing scales!

Anyone got one any sooner?

just weighed mine there for you without tyre its not road worthy because its buckledbut it wighs 7-8kg but not to sure how accurate my bathroom scales are

Bathroom scales are rubbish from what I have read.

Wheels also depend on their offset and width too.


Theres like 25454 threads on this now..

i wieghed just a standard vts rim with no tyre i use them scales to weigh parcels and there pretty accurate for that

And no ones ever answered it! Trust me ive searched :wall:

As above really, ive searched and read about 30 threads. Everyone just says I will find out and post it up.

Sorry your right mate. Ment wheel weighs in general.

Need some tyre weights sorting too imo

lol still isnt much of an accurate answer

:( Adsayer...?

patience my child.

look my rims are being powdercoated at the moment 250 miles away from where I live. Once they're back from the powercoaters the rims will be weighed by dadSayer. Then when I'm swapping over the rims I currently have on (VTS rims also) will be weighed with the tyre on them.

tally ho!
