Is there a lighter wheel in the market than this one?

A friend of mine brought one of these beauties to my shop and I was amazed at the so light weight of it. I couldn't believe that was a racing wheel for my car. 15" is extremely light!

 

I dunno if there are lighter ones, but all of the following wheels are all within a pound of eachother...

Volk TE37/LE37T
Volk SE37K
Spoon/Desmond Regamaster EVO
Advan RG
Sparco NT-R
Buddy Club P1

0.5lbs/wheel savings isn't going to help much anyways, so just get whichever one you like best. HTH.

 

in 15" spoon/desmond EVO. lightest i've weighed yet. 16" buddyclub, lighter than the 16" spoon.

 

According to SCC, 16x7 CP-035 is 9.25 lbs. with lugs. I don't know of anything else that light.

 

ummm, the spoons/EVO's are 8 lbs. like i said above... to date i haven't weighed anything lighter. spoon lugs are like a several oz. i do all the weighing of the rims for R&D.

 

so what do the 15" CP-035's weigh?

 

you got me there. never weighed any RH. from the numbers you posted, per SCC, i'd say around 9 bls.

just for the record, i weighed some TE37's (15") and they advertise them at 8 lbs. i got 10 lbs for a 15x7...

Just FYI, these don't come in 15" or 16".

 

I didn't weight the wheel, but it is very light. RH claims about 7Lbs for the 15" I think.

 

But what I'm saying is that if a 15" Spoon is 8.5 lbs. and a 16" CP-035 is 9.25 lbs., wouldn't it stand to reason that the 15" CP-035 would be even lighter?

And BTW, SCC didn't use the manufacturer's info for just that reason- they got hold of the wheel and weighed it themselves.

 

Sorry, I didn't get to read this before I posted

 

i weighed mine when i bought them with the lugs and got 7.9lbs 15 x 6.5. with 196/50/15 they weighed in at 27 lbs.

 

got a pic?

 

Ok, the CP035 weighs 3.5kg in a 15x6. It is unbelievable to me that the 16x7 weighs only 9lbs. So far, the lightest wheel we have had in a 16 is the Buddy Club QF Racing that weighed in at 11.3 lbs - right Keith? - The 16x7 Spoon weighed 11.80 and the Rega 11.88. Hope this helps clear things up a bit.

 

LE37T do come in 16's

i saw on a site somewhere that the Desmond Regamaster's come in a 15x7 45mm offset. Is this true?

 

nevermind.

 

the volks 15x6 weigh 8 lbs not the 15x7 =p. i weighed my 15x7 and i thought they weighed more then advertised too.

 

i was supprised to see that weight when they were on the scale.

 

They both come in 16x7 (see my sig for the se37k. ) And they're both identical in weight.

 

How about the 5Zigen Beckett's?

 

oh yeah, forgot about those. personally, I'd get the ones I think look the best as they only differ from each other less than a pound in weight, so no huge diff there.

 

I don't know if this is gospel, but it says the 16x7 is 10.8 lbs.

 

The 0.08 lbs must be within the standard of error of either the scale, or within the variation of construction of the rims I assume. Aren't the regas and the spoons the same rims with different paint?
