    How much does a disco steel rim weigh

    As above - how much does a S1 disco steel rim weigh (rim only, no tyre)? I don't have a scale handy.

    Sounds about right - galvanising adds 5-10% to the weight too...

    Have to decide if I go with the quote for $30 per rim + $1.10/kg for my other stuff or $1.50/kg rims included...

    13kg. I know they are heavy. Interesting thing though, steel wheel and tyre combo, weighs the same as Defender alloy and tyre, So much for lighter unsprung weight of alloys. They are a bloody strong alloy wheel though.
