Use helium in your tyres - helps save weight lol

Odd. I've got a Mk2 172 7x15 wheel I bent when I hit a pothole in the Northern Territory outback where there are no speeds limits.

I put in on the scales. It weighs 8.0 Kgs. That's just the bare wheel.

I'll weight the spare wheel with tyre when I get the Clio back from the dealer tomorrow.

I'm driving a loan car at the moment. Its a Megane. Its spare wheel is a 6.5x16 (ET49) steel wheel fitted with a 205/55 tyre. Wheel+tyre weigh 17.0 Kgs. I know alloy is less dense than steel, but its also weaker so alloy wheels can't be as thin, and they are generally designed for style and durability when banged into kerbs rather than light weight. I wondered whether the average mag was actually lighter than the average steel wheel. Doesn't look from that like there's any saving.

Got my car back.

Weighed the spare wheel. Its 16.0 Kgs. That's a 15x7 wheel with a new 195/50 tyre.

And, yes, timsclio172, with a manufacturing date of 10/03 it is absolutely definitely a Mk2 172 and the wheels that came on it are absolutely definitely 15".

Yup..

I'll vouch for that : Std 182 wheel 18kg on my scales too.

I've never weighed my superleggs...

Gather your from OZ. I know in OZ and S.Amercia MK2 172 came with 15s. Euproe was 16s.

Salter scales told me that one 182 alloy with no tyre weighs 10.5kg
