Fuchs alloy weights
The scale used is a big factor, and yes the common bathroom scales can lie.
FWIW, I just happen to have my wheels here with no tires mounted yet. I weighed them with a Chatillon spring scale (fish-type) which has a range of 30 pounds. I think this thing is pretty accurate.
The Fuchs 951 8x16's measure 14.25 lbs (6.5 Kg) and the 7x16 Fuchs came in at 13 lbs (5.9 Kg). These include the center caps and the valve stems.
Bugnutz.
