Default How much does a 16in alloy weigh?

Decided I should really get shot of the standard alloys that are taking up space in my garage, but how much do they weigh? Need to work out how much a courier would charge to send them on their merry way.

apparently they're around 9kg on their own, or 18 with a new tyre

You could always advertise them as pick up only saving you a lot of time and hassle to send them. That is what I did when I sold a spare Mk1 Octy VRS alloy I had.

Hmmmm 18 kg, okay.

Yes I could say pick up only, but didn't want to narrow down the market to locals only.

thanks everybody.

Stand on bathroom scales and weigh yourself... Then hold wheel and weigh yourself.
The difference in weight is the weight of the wheel.
(I do thin with my suitcase before flying anywhere).

If people want them, it doesn't narrow down the market. I sold a set of Borbet A's to a chap who was going to put them on his Corrado - he travelled down from North Wales to me in very southern Cornwall. Took him 5 hours to get to me. But he really wanted those wheels.
