Thanks

The good thing about those wheels is that if gravity failed us, your 914 would still not float away. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

I'd guess the weight at somewhere between 18-20# each. That's just the wheel. Not the wheel and tire. Unstrung weight. Not the place you want heavy if you're looking for performance. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

A tad over 14.5 pounds each from a set I had. I didn't measure all four of them, I do know 2 are a different manufacture.

I found a company that can manufacturer brand new wheels for them to be wider if need be,

LAT 70
The LAT 70 was a 13 x 5 1/2" classic sunbeam tiger wheel. Our customer wanted that traditional look in a 15 x 6 1/2" wheel. This allowed for a larger tire to be used and while keeping that classic look for his car.
