Hello davecsumini

Here are your answer:

Style R81 (7-hole) 5.5Jx15 - 1512458 & 1512459 = 5.45Kg Offset = 45mm
(Cooper w/ all season tires) [weight is 14.601794lb]

Style R82 (8-spoke) 5.5Jx15 - 1512347 & 6756674 = 6.9Kg Offset = 45mm
(Cooper w/ all season tires) [weight is 18.4866793lb]

Style R83 (5-star) 6.5Jx16 - 1512348 & 1512349 = 9.1Kg Offset = 50mm
(Cooper w/ performance runflat tires ) [weight is 24.309828]

Style R84 (V-spoke) 6.5Jx16 - 1512350 & 1512351 = 8.0Kg Offset = 50mm
(Cooper S w/ all season runflat tires) [weight is 21.4338310lb]

Style R85 (S-lite) 7x17J - 1512352 & 6757859 = 11.4Kg Offset = 50mm
(Cooper S w/ performance runflat tires or all season runflat tires )
[weight is 30.5432092lb]

Style R86 5.5Jx15 - 6755809 = 6.8Kg Offset = 45mm
(Accessory wheel) [weight is 18.2187564lb]

Style R87 5.5Jx16 - 6755814 = 7.5Kg Offset = 45mm
(Accessory wheel) [weight is 20.0942166lb]

Style R88 6.5Jx16 - 6755811 = 8.9Kg Offset = 48mm
(Accessory wheel) [weight is 23.8451370lb]

Style R90 7Jx17 Two-Piece - 6755813 = 10.95Kg Offset = 48mm
(Accessory wheel) [weight is 29.3375562lb]

I hope this will help

If you want to look up wheel and tire weights yourself then read this:
https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...pic=2242&0
For OEM wheels-
https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...pic=2075&4

Or for more details talk to alex@tirerack.

For the lightweight 16" wheels-
In the SSR comp family (but not exactly SSR Comp) see:
The SSR comp R in 16x6.5" which is lighter (about 11.9 lbs.) than the standard SSR Comp 16x7 and less expensive.

No centercap and no polished lip (different than standard SSR Comp rims) or other markings but very strong/nice and light. See alex@tirerack for more info.

huh, though all comps came with polished lips. TypeC's in Japan do not
come with polished lips.

No problem.
I was looking at the wheel info and doing the math and it was not adding up for me.
I PM'ed AC_MINI already.
I included the link because the resource is good but I gave the info just in case the link happens to go down.

As far as I can tell the S-lite rim itself is 25.1 pounds and with the tire weighs about 48+ pounds (depends on which tire). It's not really that light overwise it would be called the S-light.

Hello minihune

I was using the weight converter to conver the Kilogram (kg) to pound (lb t) but if that is incorrection I'm sorry.
That is all. Mahalo
