Does anyone know the approximate weight of a typical 16" Mercedes alloy rim? (i.e 16" 7.5J W210 Elegance or similar).
Thanks in anticipation.

Hang on, I'll just go and whip my tyres off and stick one on the scales. :rolleyes:

If it helps for comparison purposes, a 14" steel wheel + inflated tyre weighs 13kg (I recently bought some from a car that was being broken up on ebay and needed this information for a courier).

Yes, I also need to know the weight for courier purposes but just the weight of the rim, without tyre. From the replies I've had, I think I can safely assume that a bare rim would be less than 10kg. Thanks for the replies everyone.
