Anyone weighed a 6" or 7" wide Fuchs rim lately? I have 16" rims and have had different "experts" quote me weights of 12 to 22 pounds per rim. Just curious because of the range in weights.

Yeah, I've got a lot of divergent weights as well for these wheels. I'd like to get some additional data points for this chart:

I weighed my 16 x 7 powder coated rim - 15 lbs My 16 x 8's (951)were only a shade more at 16 lbs

My 9x16 were 17.5 lbs

Bathroom scales - but they were pretty cheap to ship across country...

Jeremy,
Thanks for your input. I weighed an 8x16 on a UPS-type scale at Aase Bros a few years ago and it was the same 16 lb. you report. Bathroom scales are usually more accurate in the upper ranges, but I salute yours. Maybe bathroom scale technology has improved over the last few years.

Thanks to my wife, I have an expensive bathroom scale. Just don't tell her that I weighed my wheels on it... Shhhhhhhh

Mahalo Jeremy & 911pcars, Thanks for the replies on the weight question it's been bugging me for a while. Sure makes those replicas look like dead weight! Mark

It's not just the weight. It's their amazing strenght. Some wheels are strong, but Fuchs are @#$@*%^ tough.
