Also, do you know if a wheel like the 7-hole 15" alloys could be split to widen it from a 5.5" J-rim to something more like a 7" J-rim? That last bit probably sounded crazy.

All the best,
Andrew.

I know that the Italian ones I bought and posted pic of earlier were lighter than the official ones. I'll try and find the pics I posted of the box with the weights on when I bought them at the time ......

Right here you go.

MINIGolf has found all the info and posted it here in one place! So the replicas (at least the ones I had) are 1 kilo lighter than the OEM ones.

The Routecompany's replicas weigh 20 lbs, weighed them myself. OEM R90's weigh 25lbs.
The replicas on ebay may well be a different company as the 17" version has an offset of
48mm while the Routecompanys are 40mm. The ebay replicas are also available as 18"
with a 48mm offset. I have no idea how heavy the ebay replicas are. All sizes/colours look
good to me

Considering the 18" R90's myself, so have just emailed the Ebayer seller.

Will post up the weight, if they can do that for me.
