Default Which is heavier (Guess)

What do you guys think is heavier:
16" Prelude Blade rims or 18" Racing Hart CP-10?

Details:
Prelude blades mounted on 205-50-16 Bridgestone tires.
RH mounted on 215-35-18 Falken tires.

Both have air in it.

I'll post the result tonight.

i would think the prelude rims are heavier. even with the extra 2" on the racing harts i think they are probably lighter.

yeah this doesnt seem to hard of a question, any racing wheel is going to have the form and function to be lightweight enough for quicker wheel spin.

18's ftw

This is a pretty skewed comparison.

You are comparing two wheels mounted not only with different manufacturer of tire, but also different sizes!

Fact: All things equal, a car with a 30lbs. 16" wheel/tire combo would put more horsepower to the ground than a 30lbs. 18" wheel/tire combo.

That's a nice set of wheels!
It's a shame you live so far.

If I ever get an offer for my Racing Hart's, those are the rims I'd most likely get after
