Weight of R85 OEm 17 inch wheels?

Does anyone know or can anyone tell me where to find out the weight of the R85 17 inch S-lite OeM Mini Cooper S wheel without a tire on it?

Hey

Hello,

Check out www.mini2.com, under Community, then forum, FAQ and DIY. Tire and Wheel FAQ says 25.1 lbs apiece (oink!)

Cheers,
Matthew Z.

Sorry to say this is correct and also true (proven everytime I lift a stock 17" MINI wheel).

By comparison my 15x7" Kosei K1 TS rims are 10.6 pounds each.

Your dashboard

Hey. Where'd you get the cool walnut or whatever wood dashboard stuff?
I know about the Kosei's. I went to stock R83's and nonrunflats on the advice of my kidney doctor.

Any lighter rim would work fine. For the classic MINI look try Minilytes in 16".

My dash is custom airbrushed in wood finish. 15 parts.
