You forgot to mention the width and offset, they are fundamental when measuring weight. I have the f14s 18x10 et + 38, and they weight around 21 lb. I haven't really put them on a scale
they're either 18x8.5 or 18x9, because their project 135i has 8.5s in the front and 9s in the rear. Meaning, they're pretty light; as light as my OZ Ultraleggeras and they're a half inch less in width!
@bertworks forgestar for the loss on that one. I haven't seen anyone who was happy with the weight. I think for whatever reason they quote ET 55 wheels then when you get ET32 or ET 35, they're way heavier due to more material. The kind of thing they ought to tell you before hand though.
@pacsum Yes, those specs were from Superlubricity on mbworld, from May 2010 and he also has an extensive paragraph which states his wheels are rated at 1200 load. All F14's are now rated at 1520 load, which makes for a slightly heavier wheel, so there is no "bashing from the competition" here, just real world accounts relating to the newer, heavier wheels.
Ah no that was a real weight I was there. Gotta keep in mind when this video was made the 18" were specifically made for certain vehicles where load rating was lower, the new versions are a little more weight due to increased load ratings now for most vechils. Also you have to factor the backspacing (as each vehicle is going to be difficult). So no BS the video aint lying.
what size wheel is this? 18x7? 18x10? Kinda important. Thanks.

What is this particular color called ?
My forgestar f14 wheels, 18x9.5, et 30 5x112 wheels came in at about 22.2lbs! The wheels weigh a lot more than advertised...
what color is that
@bertworks The rim he has on the scale is rated at 1200 load. The wheel you weighed is 1520 load. They dont make the 1200 anymore.
Anybody know what color that is? Need that color!!
Umm the width 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
So much for their BS 17.8 claim lmao

@@Modbargains-google-plus So BS then. Only for a select few vehicles does it weight that little again BS video
