Default Wheel Weight?
Hi All
could anyone tell me the weight of a 17" genuine Subaru wheel with new tyre fitted - I need to get a quote from some couriers.
Cheers
Dave

A little under 20kg. A set of four is therefore just under 80kg. I had a set shipped by a company on Ebay - only cost me £25 - but that was a year ago.

It was PFS (Paisley Freight Services) that I used too. Very good service - wheels turned up next day in perfect condition. Great value at £25.

Buddy Club wheels are light.

If i had the money and was after light wheels, that's where i'd be heading.

Default wheel size
I hope so - I do have a newage 55 plate WRX - it is only the STI's that had the wheel size changed wasn't it?
