I did a bit of searching here on NAM and elsewhere, but could not find the answer.
Does anybody know what the weight of the "R119 6 Star Twin Spoke ET48" rim only (no tire) is?

 

I was hoping that if I "bumped" this it might catch someone attention that it did not previously.
Although I like these OEM wheels, I would like to replace them with something lighter (decreased unsprung weight = improved handling) if they are on the heavy side.
Anybody know the weight of these rims?

 

Sadly Even on MINI2 they don't have one on their site.
According to the below link they are in the 20ish range. Real Helpful I know.

I checked the mini2 site also and didn't see anything. My recommendation would be to take the wheel and tire off, weigh the whole thing and then go to tire rack and find the tire weight and subtract that.

 

thanks for the replies.
and, the mystery goes on...

 

Most mini rims weigh in the mid 20's.

 

Sorry, I can't help with the R119s, but, since I have this data from the mini2.com site already in my notes .....

15" OE wheels (n = 7): Weight range: 12.0# to 15.7#; Average = 14.3#

16" OE wheels (n = 7): Weight range: 17.4# to 20.9#; Average = 19.4#

17" OE wheels (n = 12): Weight range: 20.4# to 25.1#; Average = 22.4#

The lightest 15" wheels are the R81 Imolas at 12.0#. Nothing else is very close.

The lightest of the 16s are the R84 X-lites (Monzas) at 17.6#, and the R102 S-winders at 17.4#.

The lightest of the 17s are the R??? Night spokes at 20.4#, the R91 5-spoke Bullets at 20.6#, and the R111 Black star Bullets also at 20.6#.

 

Someone on Mini2 weighed them on a bathroom scale at 18.5 pounds.
Not sure if this is accurate. I too would like to know the answer.
