Just got back from the post office. I used their scale to weigh, to the ounce, several common 914 wheels. All of these weights are for clean, bare wheels with no wheel weights, no valve stems or lug bolts. I am preparing a set of autocross wheels and a set of track wheels and want to start with the lightest, commonly available wheel possible. Thought that others might be able to use this info so here it is.
All wheels are 4X130 bolt pattern. The Minilite wheel is 6.5" X 15". The rest of the wheels are 5.5" X 15". Weights are from lightest to heaviest. Mahle - 13 lbs. 4 oz. Fuchs - 13 lbs. 15 oz. 914 Steel "Sport" wheel - 17 lbs. 0 oz. 914 Steel "Beetle" wheel - 17 lbs. 1 oz. Minilite - 17 lbs. 15 oz. |
