25 pounds?

Prelewd · #1 03-12-2003, 09:51 PM

Anyone know the weight of these wheels:

Exel Race

I heard that exels aren't really that great of a wheel, but hell, they are cheap and they look good, this model at least... I don't want to buy them if they weigh 25 pounds a piece though. It's either that, or save up for a million years to buy the Racing Hart C2 or C3.

How about a good site displaying wheel stats? I found this one so far:

wheel weight chart

Thanks.

call wheel max ... they should be able to tell you

also it looks like they are trying to use the reputation of the Japanese tuner Spoon .... "Spoom" on the spoke is a little obvious

haha, yea, i didn't notice it said "spoom".. I thought it said spoon. that's funny. I don't really care abou that though, i just like the wheel design and price. weight does factor in though.. i'll call them.

those seem... heavy...
the rims on my van only weigh 13 lbs, with center caps, and they are 15x6.5

Wheelmax says 17.5lbs with 40 offset on those.

if your looking at that stlye go with rotas slipstream i heard there like 12lbs so not much heavier then the real thing (wonder if the extra money i spent was worth it?

)

Yea, I know man. I'm probably getting the subzeros. I don't think the slipstream style quite fits the lude, but I've never seen the wheels on it before. Might look good. I wish rota made some cleaner wheels.. they have been lately, but what is on their site doesn't impress me much.

I wouldn't want to go much lighter than 17lbs for a cheap wheel. I am not trying to say buy wheel max. I know nothing about them. For my money, I think tying to get too light a wheel for too little money could cost durability and strength.

Well I'm not going to go out and spend 500 or so per wheel on Volk TE-37s when I'm not going to be racing every weekend. I would if I could, believe me, but I'm not going to.

I get a good price on Rota, Volk and Racing Hart. I still don't have the money for Volk and Racing Hart. By default, I choose Rota.
