Thanks Glenn. Would you by chance know if 4 lugged Mahles weigh the same?

The 4 lug Mahles are not as light.

if you want a 4x130 wheels that's fairly light, get a set of real 4 bolt Fuchs. They are forged and light compared to other alloy wheels. The repros are very heavy.

Not sure of it's size, but the magnesium American Racing Baja Star wheels look pretty light.

And there's all kinds of exotic looking wide-5 wheels that look pretty light.

Wait
are you saying that pedrinis are about 10Lbs
or about 15lbs

i would think more like 15

And i like those 5 wides

there are some Really cool wide 5 wheels out there

If i wasnt partial to the baby burners
id think to switch to wide 5

Sun Apr 27, 2008 5:45 pm

15lbs

I was referring to 15 for the pedrinis. I've heard 13-14 for Baby Burners. I've heard reports as low as 7lbs. for the 5 lug Gas Burners. And I'm thinking the 4 lug Fuchs weigh 11-12 but I've heard some people claim that they're heavier than Baby Burners.

And If I wasn't so partial to my Baby Burners, I'd go for some Pedrinis.
Despite their similarities to the Baby Burners, they have that Italian pizazz that I like.

I think my ERCOs weigh in at about 7lbs a piece. If you are looking for 4 lug, I can't see them weighing too much more. My are also race weight. Two piece not three piece.

I also just ordered a new set of Centerlines and I think their website said they are about 14lbs. They have not arrived so I cannot get and accurate weight yet. But I think they no longer offer their rotary forged aluminum wheel in four lug.

My choices for 4-lugs are ATS, 4 lug Fuchs & Ronals. All are original & size 15x5.5. Does anybody know how much these babies weigh?

Thanks

I've got Convopros and they are very light. I'm guessing close to Ercos?

Means nothing until you set them on a scale.

I think two of ercos equal one centerline.

Centerlines should not be mentioned in a topic about lightweight wheels. They are hefty boat anchors.
It is closer to 3 ERCOs to one Centerline.

CMS & Douglas wheels prolly weigh lighter or just as light as the Ercos..but they are used mainly for sand & offroad.
