Found this and thought it may be of some use, it lists a lot of different wheel makes (including obscure Jappo wheels

) in different sizes/widths

Good find!

This is great.

Now the question is, what would you go for..... a 1/2inch wider wheel if it adds 1.1lbs of unsprung weight? Or save the weight and deal with a 9.0 wheel?

Good site....They had the R32 16x8's on there at 16.

...does anyone know what the factory R33 and R34 wheels weigh?

DUNCAN GT-R · 15th February 2008, 08:46 PM

thats a great site.
I just looked up my Wedsport TC005's. (18 x 10)
It says that they're "Forged" instead of "Cast". Which is better ?
Also it says they weigh 18.9 lbs. Is that per wheel or a set of 4.
There's no way one of my wheels weighs the same as 18 bags of sugar.
They're sooooo light.

Forged is better - 19lb sounds about right for a wide 18" rim - its only about 8.6kg

Nice wheels btw

- they're the same as whats on my car (when it gets here!)

Has anyone here ever weighed their Do Luck Double Six wheels?

I was wondering how they compare, but haven't got anything suitable for weighing them on.

LOL, Duncan I think your getting lb's mixed up with kg's.

If it works out at less than 9kgs a wheel for an 18" than I think thats very good. Im sure mine weigh in at 11kg each.
I could save around 10kg by my choice of wheel, maybe more by going to a 17" LOL
