I'm selecting between Fuchs, Cookie Cutters, and Phone Dials. I suspect the Fuchs are the lightest but don't know by how much. They are also the most expensive.

Thanks, I'm leaning toward the cookies. I like the Fuchs, but there are things that will benefit the car more than a few pounds of unsprung load that I can do with the $$ I save.

I weighed my 7x16 Fuchs and they were about 17 or 18 pounds iirc. It's been a while and I don't remember much correctly but that's the best I got.

7 X 15 Fuch are 11 lbs (bathroom scale).
7 X 15 cookies are a pound more on the same scale. I've got 3 good cookies (sound, but ugly) for cheep. One fixable for free with the 3. |

They is cheap too! They have more offset than 15x7 fuchs if I remember... Bill P. |

Bill,
Ask Ken M. about using 7" phonedials with spacers under stock fenders. It works with 205s. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) |

16x7 phone dials and fuchs are within half a pound of eachother, so I would venture to guess 15x7 fuchs and 15x7 phone dials are about the same weight too.
I personally like the look of phone dials over cookies and fuchs, but I know I'm in the minority. |
