Re: wheel weight

[Aaron <zpeed@earthlink.net>]

I just got myself a set of Compomotive TH's in a 15 x 6.5 w/ a 35mm 
offset.  These are rally wheels for those who haven't heard of them.  They 
weighed 18.5 lbs a wheel.  Which is about average for a 15 inch wheel.  The 
good thing about them is that they should never bend.  I'm gonna try to 
post some pictures of them on my car but in the mean time, if you want to 
see how they look like.  Go to  http://www.usacomp.com/th.htm
If you want really light and strong wheels and don't mind paying a 
lot.  Look at the Volk racing wheels.  I think they are somewhere around 10 
lbs for a 15.
