Fikse!!!

There not the lightest, sure looks the best though.

I've never heard Work Wheels referred to as light.

Perhaps the magnesium wheel from the IT-S line but noone can afford those :)

Although 17x12 you aren't going to have a helluva lot of choices of wheel - so that makes the decision easier

damn! that sucks for as pricey as those wheels are!

POM HB 06-10-05 08:26 PM

?????????? Kenesis!!????

They are forged, right? How come? Maybe it's taking too mcuh force that no wheel would be able to take??

"Fool's Fashion" is right. Why would anyone in their right mind run HREs on the track anyway? They're known as more of "Bling Bling" show wheel and they're also damn heavy to boot!

I think it's becasue HRE make believes that their wheels are extremely strong, which should be true....just like other forged wheels.

That doesn't mean anything. Put the wheel on a scale and tell us what it says. :)

Okay you got me the total weight for both wheels completely boxed was 60lbs

LUPE 06-14-05 09:16 PM

I have owned Work Meister S2R's and they were pretty darn heavy.

I can lift a Dodge Ram 20" chrome wheel over my head with one hand...

Assuming Tireracks weights are correct, 285/35/18 weigh 26lbs. So, RX7UP's VS-XXs in 18x10 weigh about 26lbs.

For comparision, I have Kinesis K58 in 18x9 with 50 offset and they weigh 19lbs each. I believe that Kinesis makes both racing (lighter) and street wheels as Steve Cirian's 18x10 K58s weighed 24 lbs according to his site.

LUPE 06-14-05 11:15 PM

Talking about light, I probably have the lightest wheels on this forum :)

Fronts, 8.6 lbs each
Rears , 11 lbs each

I'd say that the Work wheel VS-XX are about an average weight for a 18X10, 3 piece Wheel. Closer to the lighter side of the 3 piece 18X10 spectrum....
