Pro Race 1.2

[Ph1 Tom]

I bought a set of these in 15x7 expecting a weight of 6.2kg as advertised. How come they weigh 7.5kg?

I know that weight is for the ET45 offset and I've got the ET35 but that doesn't account for the 1.3kg extra.

I'd like to understand where this extra weight is from so I can justify sending them back.

It needs more metal for more poke?

It's still a light wheel, can you really be bothered sending them back over 1.3kg. Also, what scales did you weigh them on?

My 15" turinis weigh less than that and they're et35.

 

[Ph1 Tom]

Done the maths, theoretically taking into account the increased volume and density they should weigh 6.75kg, not 7.5kg.

Send the buggers back.

I am in the process of sorting it all out. I'll be getting Ultraleggeras instead which I know someone has weighed at 5.7kg. So 1.8kg lighter than the ones I've got.

 

[MartinR]

Bloody hell my superleggeras weigh loads less than those and mine are 16's
Intrested to know whats happened there then

 

[M.C..]

just weighed one of my prorace 1.2 7x15 et43 4x100 60.1 centre bore and they weigh 6.4kg brand new wheel. the 6.2 is probably a raw wheel by the time it has paint it will add a bit so mine seem as advertised.)
If I was you give rimstock a call and explain the situation and see what they have to say, just make sure what you are weighing them with is accurate

I'm going to check weight of my rims now your scarring me
Mine should be 5.9
