As above really, i am trying to get the unsprung weight down, but want to keep to 13"

Does anyone know how much the wheel options weigh? Less tyres preferably or with. superlite/revolite/sportspack etc etc

Anyone had to post any recently?

They are old style cast CXN's, look like the fake spoke pattern on older BMW's.

I have a feeling I know where there is a set stashed away and I'm sure the guy was looking to get rid. It is a while since I saw them but yours have an air of familiarity about them!

I havent seen many of them about.

I emailed Huddersfield & asked them about wheels i liked, without tyres, Supertrax is approx 4.8 kgs and the Superlights are approx 5 kgs for 7x13.

How much does your average 175/50x13 tyre weigh then!?
