Alloy Question

Ok so anyone know the rough weight of 1 Bravo HGT 15" alloy with a 195/55/15 tyre on it, only got damm fancy scales at home and wont weight the thing properly or me and the alloy as wont give a steady reading.. ie anywhere between 10 and 25Kg! Which i dont beleive!

So if someone could help me out that'd be great just a rough reading of a similar sized alloy.

Cheers

something like 8-10kg just for the wheel.

more for the tyre..

Sorry, from my various selection of wheels, I don't have one of those to weigh

mmmm... think i'm gona need to buy some cheap scales that will do the job..

I think mine were about £3 from Asda!

Use a plank on a pivot, in the middle. Put the wheel on one end, the exact distance away from a pivot as a large bucket on the other. Measure out 1 litre amounts and pour into the bucket. Wait until the bucklet lifts the wheel off the ground and voila, accurate to around 1 kg. Of course each litre = 1 kg.

It would be easier just to spend £3 on some scales

Yea i think so too...

But it's not quite as cool!

like your thinking paul. always good to keep old school thinking in place.
never know when you may need some lateral thinking in life

Sometimes it's all you have and it's always useful to go back to basics.

Quite right... but still spending the afternoon building a wooden seasaw might be a bit of waste of time, although it may have to come to that.

thats a prime example of engineering
but does it mean you're an engineer?

Well I am by job role, so it's it irrelevant if doing that would make me an engineer

OK so alloy +tyre weighs in at 15.3Kg not including packaging... which means say 65Kg courier needed for 4 packages. Anyone know of any cheap ones?
