Yes.

What is it then Obi?

For some reason the figure of about 11kg springs to mind. Got your spare? Weigh that. Ok, it'll include the weight of the tyre but you could adjust by about 3-5kg to compensate

A tyre weighs a *s##t* load more than 3-5kgs. The lighest tyre I know of is a crossply Avon ACB10, and they come in at 5kgs for a medium width, 13" diameter job. It was designed as a Formula Ford tyre, but they now make many versions of it and it is the most extreme and grippy road tyre you will find. But, they cost a fortune, last only a few thousand on something as light as a Seven and wil throw you into a hedge if it even looks like raing.

I had some 14" wheels, with 195/60x14 tyres, on my Westfield that had a combined weight of 16kg.

I upgraded to 13" wheels, which weighed 5kg by themselves, and adding a 185/60x13 tyre took the combined weight up to 12kg.

If your saying the wheel weighs 11kg, which seems a reasonable number, then I would estimate the combined weight would be at leat 20kg+.

Standard RS wheel, with tyre weighs 18kg, so my 11kg estimate was probably about right.

Whats a VW evolo 17" alloy weigh? Just curious now.
