New 19's

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

that's half what is listed on the allwheels site... but if they are 13 that's not too bad for a cheap rim of that size

[jonzie26]

They arent a cheap rim people. They are a qualitly Australian made Wheel.

[jonzie26]

the 13 is only for the 19"s though. the 20"s go up to about 18ish

[Redback]

i got from them

"Hi Rick, smaller ones are around 13Kg and heaviest being 20" are 21.5Kg. 19's are around the 18kgs mark."

Sorry i had to find out myself..... i love shit stirring.... lol

Thats alot of weight with out tyre.... oh

What makes them a Quality Australian Made Wheel. i hadnt heard of them till a month or so ago... and still didnt buy anything they had :D:D

[ZENNON]

18kgs i can believe

note: unless you're actually racing it doesn't matter dude - as long as you like them

[Pattygtst]

Koya make some sik looking wheels i almost bought some race teks and regret not buying them. Personally if you dont use the car for racing etc all the time who cares. Jap wheels are the shit though

I still don't understand why people insist on asking for other peoples opinions about their new wheels or their new kit asking for opinions...?

How about next time you say, "Hey everyone check out my new wheels", rather than "What do you think".

If you ask for an opinion you will always get soneone saying nah they suck then you get all defensive or as we have seen in past threads then the person sells them cause they listen to other opinions...

I love seeing what people do to their cars, I don't have to like it to be interested, but if you ask for an opinion you will get one, and usually not what you were hoping for...

Getting people to like your choice is just a unnecessary validation...

Oh yeah the rims, nup don't like em, too heavy, average slivr or chrome... you will blend into the scenery...

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

@ 18 kg's is still a lot of weight to lug around for no reason....

[jonzie26]

i am not getting the 20" wheels so there for not getting 18 kilo wheels.

Straight from Koya themselves, 19's will be around 18Kgs

+1! Finally some common sense

Jonzie26 = I take it from your join date you're relatively new here, now I have no idea about your technical knowledge on cars in general, but the comments made by other guys here about the weights of rims is merely coming from the experience and knowledge they have about the general weights of different sizes of wheels, knowledge they have probably picked up along the way by spending time on these forums and soaking up the wealth of information that can be had here if you look in the right places.

I used to have no clue about cars, now I have done a lot of DIY stuff like fitting my snorkel with fmic piping, making a second c.a.i aswell, repainting my worn interior trims, sevicing and maintaining it etc the list goes on, all thanks to skylines australia.

Don't worry if sometimes members here can come across as cynical, it's mostly in jest

goodluck with the wheels, you obviously chose them because they appealed to you which is the most important thing, making your car how you like it.

as said above if you ask someone's opinion on something don't always expect it to be favourable, you should see the r32/r33 camps go on about which car is better, silly if you ask me... r34s are miles in front .

Thanks yo-yo

I personally got in contact with Koya. before the other fella on hear did and he has guananted me the weigths. he told the weight for all four dieeferent tyres. so i know that i am right. Yeah your right i am new on hear but i know a lot about my cars. in the process of fixing up my commodore so that it can be sold. I was just purely asking people (strangers) about what they though about them. but then they just evolved and kept asking questions. oh well. at the end of the day i am still going to get those wheels. jist becasue i want my car to look the way that i want it.

[ZENNON]

yeah same

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

ok... so we are in agreeance that 18kg's is still a heavy anvil... er wheel yeah?

[jonzie26]

oh well a couple of extra kilos never killed anyone. personally i think they look great on the car.

Yeah sad brue true commodore driver... Not any more, and never again. it feels like a boat. the skyline shits all over it in every aspect possible.

Redback.

I dont want to lose this bug any time soon.

[Granthem]

hey im a commie owner. would buy another one anyday.

that thing ran with too much oil, no oil, rusty coolant, no coolant... lol

it never skipped a beat and pulled 14.3 as many times as you asked it too

agreed though at the end of the track it was hard to stop and didnt like turning really.
