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,

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.

http://www.mini2.com/forum/wheels-ty...any-italy.html

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 .

Some people are like a Slinky ........ not really good for anything, but you still can't help
but smile when you shove them down the stairs

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.
