i have 2 sets of wheels :sad2: 13" ph2 speedlines, and some nice 15" turbines fitted with some good rubber :). its nice to be able to change wheel, although the 13" are quiet a bit lighter,

those weights are wrong unless they are the weights including the weight
of a tyre .

why? AFAIK they're in pounds..

Lets use 15" Leggera:

11.5 x 0.45359 = 5.21 kg

I know that O-Z had commercial about Superleggera weight less than 5 kg (4.95 to be correct) and each wheel manufacturer has legal right to have cca. 0.20 kg out of declaration.

p.s. Schakal, I'm not jelling just do not know what happened to text formatting :crap:

Nope. I'm kind member of this society :cartman:

Formatting is OK again... (maybe somebody of site admins wanted a fight :D )

i remember this being discussed in another forum a few years back and
someone actually weighed a super leggera without the tyre .
i think i came out something over 6 kilos :eek:

Hoolio :p

Two members of our Croatian Renault club weighted Leggeras in 15" dimension and ones were cca. 5.3kg and others 5.1kg. I weighted my Chronos and were 0.3 heavier than stated in declaration papers. So, it seams that wheels are always a bit heavier but still don't belive that weight is messed for about 15% :scratch:

Alloy weights will differ. Depends on the mix of metals in the alloy itself doesnt it?

Yes of course. But... It is the same situation if you receive smaller BigMac in MC and explanation is that cow wasn't fat as it should be. If you were from States you would probably be few bucks richer after court agreement.

Lots of peeps buy Ultras or Supers just because of their weight and IMHO O-Z cannot allow themselves such childish mistake. Or is it just me who believes in justice in this world. Or I'm just driven by "give me what I payed for" :homer:

Attachment isn't bible but still think that weights for more common wheels are more or less correct.

Schakal, I agree with you that it is bull$hit forged wheel can have only 3kg.

maybe the weights listed by the manufacturers are for the wheels without paint....
