TBM Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 I emailed the people selling the rims I want in my avatar asking about how much each rim weighs. They're 19's XC90 Replicas...I was really shocked when they said that the rim weighs 37lbs each!Is this an average weight for 19's? Can you please post what rims you're rolling on, and how much they weigh? Maybe exexpat can shed some light on this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7 VII 7 Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 the wheels I am looking at are 26lbs for 17x7what is the weight of columba's? thats what I have right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-5Bandit Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 I am sure his weight is not just wheel weight, but the shipping weight in it's box. A 19" cast wheel goes between 32lbs - 35lbs per wheel. It's a cast wheel, did you expect them to be light? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBM Posted November 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 I asked how much each rim weighs, and they said 37lbs. Seems a bit heavy, John how much does each of your 19's weigh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViperVette Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 ~25 lb for 19"x8.5" Tire not included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a bit heavy, John how much does each of your 19's weigh?Mine are 19"x7.5", I would estimate they weigh between 30lbs - 32lbs each.~25 lb for 19"x8.5" Tire not included.Maybe for a forged HRE, but not for any cast wheel.

TBM Posted November 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 I know 18" Pegs are around 28lbs. How much do 19" pegs weigh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViperVette Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Maybe for a forged HRE, but not for any cast wheel.Forged 6061-T6 Aluminum. Light and super strong at the same time. I nailed a pothole the other day and thougth I K.O.'d one. Scratched it a bit, but no bend what-so-ever. Its forged 3-piece for me from now on. I bent too many of those f-ing Heicos.Pegs are rediculously heavy. Only thing I've come across heavier for 18s would be those damn Volution Vs.

ViperVette Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 There we go, found the exact weight. 23.5 lb(est.). Holy crap, the 19"x8.5" C21s are only 18.8lb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-5Bandit Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 What are the Excels made from Chuck? Mag alloy?They are manufactured by Centerline and made with T-6061 Billet Aluminum. I use to have 19" RPMs chromed and they only weighed 18lbs. each. Unfortunately, I didn't have a good experience with Centerline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
