ND 1.5 stock wheel weight

Postby captaincabinets » Sat Jun 04, 2016 8:11 pm

Hi all

How much do the stockies on the 1.5 nd weigh, without tyres?

Thinking about tracking down a set for my NB.

Cheers

You may need spacers to clear your bakes (unknown for the 16" rim, 17" version is ok) as the ND rims have a +45 offset and the NB has a +40 offset.

If you do need spacers, only 5mm ones would be required. :wink:

Thanks Nev.

Someone on M.net dug this up for me

Apparently 6.8kg each, on what look to be bathroom scales. Heavier than I thought. Enkei RP-F1 in 16x7 are 5.9, best part of a kilo lighter.

... and 15x7s are lighter again. There is a set on my car, I can't see any point on putting 16s on it. Your car, your money ...
