gerg 10,871 Posted May 22, 2018 16 or 17kg bare.. clean alloy.. they are heavy.. i got $64 for 4 of them scrapped once so they must be 16kg(turbo blade EA ghia wheels) snowflakes might have been heavier// scrap price was $1 a kilo.. i hear its more now..Yeah I've had mine off and can vouch for that. They're built to handle a nuclear apocalypse. Chunkiest mesh alloys I've ever seen. I reckon even aftermarket steelies would be lighter ie: d-hole, round hole or sunrasia.

deankxf 20,287 Posted May 14, 2019 so did you buy another scale battery? i've charged them before (bodgy method.. sit the plus side on car battery and connect wire to neg side of car battery and "ZAP" it on the neg of the button battery a few one second zaps) probably dangerous..

deankxf 20,287 Posted May 17, 2019 surprised by that, i thought they were as heavy as the ghia snowflake. which i'd scrapped at 15kg several times i thought i'd scrapped these also, but might have been FE Ltd ones also at 15kg ish 1 CHESTNUTXE reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
