11-13lb depending on what center caps you had on or lugs.

BS... I don't know of a single wheel that weighs 11 lbs with tires, and those most certainly don't look to be even near that.

Why would I lie about a tire weight ? There 13 inch rims, weighted at 13lb at the most.

You are saying "with tires"

That means the total weight of the tire and wheel assembly is about 13 lbs. Thats the confusion.

You can buy 18" rims that weigh 12lbs w/o tire.

If those are 13" I don't see why it isn't possible.

Back to the thread: I don't believe they are honda wheels. I'm not really sure what they are.

What kind of tires do you have?

Anyway, I would say they look like older Celica rims (flip up lights, don't know what gen.), except they have 8 lug holes so they are most likely aftermarket. The manufacturer name should be stamped on them somewhere. Where'd you get them?

You made a mistake on accident somewhere.

First off tires weigh MORE then rims.

The lightest 15" rims I have ever seen were like 8lbs.
The lightest 15" tire I have seen is about 16lbs.
Thats 24lbs for a 15" setup of light stuff. probably not the lightest but its close.

Theres no way a 13" setup weighs almost half of that. Your rims would need to weigh 5lbs (maybe possible) and your tires 8lbs (NOT A CHANCE).

Some sample tire weights in 175-70-13:
Sumitomo HTR200: 15lbs
Yokohama AVID T4: 15lbs
Pirelli P400: 15lbs
Kumho 722: 15lbs
Uniroyal Tiger Paw: 17lbs
Goodyear Integrity: 15lbs
Hankook H406: 14lbs

...okay, do I need to go on?
Just the tire, even a 13" tire, weighs on average 15lbs.
The lightest 13" alloy rim that I can name is the Civic VX at 8lbs. I would be willing to conceed that someone has either a high dollar race wheel or an ultra cheap wheel clocking in around 5lbs for a 13" size. That puts us at 20lbs. A far cry from 11lbs. Or was it 13lbs? Care to guess again?

And this is topic specific...he's asking about the wheel and you're feeding him, intentionally or not, BS specs.

Could be 11 kg? Still pretty damn light, but more believable.
