Hi, I'm wondering if anyone who has any 10" mini wheels would be kind enough to weigh them (just a single rim) so I can find out what may be heavier or lighter than expected! Anything around the 4.5" wide mark would be great for me :thumbsup:

I think this could be handy for others who are wondering what to fit when weight may be a factor too.

It all depends on what the wheels are made of...

Old Magnesium wheels weight very little at all, alloy (aluminium) weight a little more, and steel weigh something else...

No point weighing a wheel, unless you can provide a type and material...

There is a point as once I know which ones are the lightest then I will try and purchase a set! Mambas look very light for the money, I know the MB's etc are lighter but I'm compromising between money and weight!
