eric Posted October 21, 2002 Author Share Posted October 21, 2002 On the weight subject : What is the lightest wheels : magnesium ones with 032 Yoko minator ones with Avon cr500 Who knows ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgrigsby Posted October 21, 2002 Share Posted October 21, 2002 The CR500's are lighter than the Yoko's. The R500 wheels are lighter than the minilites (in most cases). A set of R500 wheels with Cr500's or ACB10's on will probably be tricky to beat on the weight front... Cheers Rob G www.SpeedySeven.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric Posted October 21, 2002 Author Share Posted October 21, 2002 who knows how many kilos between : 13" 6.5 magnesium + Avon tyre and 13" 6.5 Minator + 032 Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Plato Posted October 21, 2002 Share Posted October 21, 2002 I'd say 7kg at least !! per wheel and tyre . dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby dooby doo Posted October 21, 2002 Share Posted October 21, 2002 Another thing to note is that approx 1kg of rubber is worn off between brand new and illegal tyres. so if you weigh some make sure they is the same level of wear on each tyre.

Graham Perry Posted October 21, 2002 Share Posted October 21, 2002 Would suggest you go for 6.5 inch wide as if you upgrade in the future they will take 205's better than 6 inch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
