what's lighter?

[maynard]

2118's or f1's?

 

[Fletcher]

Aren't 2118's ment to be heavy? I'd say the F1's.

 

[Dave.]

I just got 2118's and they ain't light! Sturdy but not light! I'd say f1's mate, less metal!

Just found this.

Not noticed a lot between them when changing mine over, but i think the F1's are marginally lighter.

according to measurespeed:

2118's are 9.6kg

f1's are 9kg

not much in it then?!

 

[ali_warriner]

Just weighed one of mine as they were handy. Come in at just under 7kgs. :S

nice one ali!

if only someone had a 2118 handy with some scales now!

Tada!

 

[jack_kemp]

F1 - 8.98kg
2118 - 9.62kg

Edit- just noticed ali's picture..... It would seem the website figure is wrong... Same as what oz themselves say though? What size are they?? 15x7?

 

[ali_warriner]

Yeah there 15x7.

I've just weighed the rest of the set individualy and there all 6.5-7kgs.

Quite a bit lower than the book figures it would appear.

You could try to get Fred to weigh one of mine, but I'm 100% sure they're heavier than f1's.

 

[jack_kemp]

Yeah there 15x7.

How odd! I'd always dismissed them as a wheel choice because I thought they weighed too much...

shame the F1's bend

 

[The Boosh!]

shame the F1's bend

Bit like Gray tbh

 

[maynard]

shame the F1's bend

how's that happen?

 

[ali_warriner]

shame the F1's bend

That why i have 8 easy to source for £30 each aswell.

 

[jack_kemp]

shame the F1's bend

What are the mag ones like Fred? I'm thinking about swapping for my turinis... Lightweight ftw!

 

[.Kev.]

shame the F1's bend

^This, they're made of cheese.

 

[Fred@BTM]

they all bend regardless of what they're made off, t**t them on a curb on track/hit a pot hole = bent

the cup racers orignally had them back when they were phs1, they bent LOADS of wheels, so they changed to the speedlines

 

[jack_kemp]

Hmm.... To be fair, I guess it's the price you pay for lightness?? I'm assuming the ultraleg's are no better?
Do mag rims not tend to snap rather than bend?

 

[Fred@BTM]

yeah normally, but mine bent!

 

[Stu.]

f1s are made of cheese iirc, i skiffed a kerb and pringled one! and the spare was bucled worse when i got the car! good wheels tho

 

[jack_kemp]

I'm just going to do it anyway. Lol. If I bend one, I bend one. Sorry for the thread hijackage!

 

[Šįk]

Iv never bent any OZ F1's. Must be due to people hittin Bad pot holes or knocking into kerbs or either hard track use?

..and I live in Cumbria were the roads are harsh!

 

[.Kev.]

Were in Cumbria now, the roads are horrendous!

 

[maynard]

quite fancy keeping the speedlines's for track use as they were used on the cup racers, not sure what do with the f1's though!
