Weight of factory wheels

Postby storms_of_fate » Fri Feb 19, 2010 2:17 pm

Had a quick search, there seems to be no posts about how much the factory wheels weigh. I wanted to know because I am planning to use factory clubman wheels for track. And then I found this little gem.

Nice find Karl as it appears to be more complete MX5 wheel spec-wise than this:
http://www.miata.net/garage/mx5wheels/index.html

Following is in the Clubman FAQ <http://mx5cartalk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=76&t=30041>
"Some Clubmans were fitted with hollow spoke (5kg) or semi hollow spoke (5.5kg) NA8 rims, as opposed to the standard NA8 solid spoke rim (6kg). Apart from some markings around the outside of the rim they appear identical until the inside of the rims are compared - for details see: <http://www.miata.net/garage/mx5wheels/index.html>".

Yep, ended up finding that as well. Good read. Although the link above is in the sticky, didn't come up in the search because none of the key words are in it I think. Oh well, should come up in searches now! I've started collecting links to all this stuff now. It's fun to do it on my own as well, I did it with the Clio, and since I was pretty much the first in Australia, there was no rpositries like this to even do searches in!! That was hard, paying a year's membership in a UK forum, just for info...
