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

Bathroom scales are rubbish from what I have read.
Wheels also depend on their offset and width too.

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!
