Dieting. Rim Weight? Which is lightest?

Fuchs 6x15 12.9 lbs

Hi Bruce,
FYI, I have just aquired a (used) laboratory scale with a 0,1 gram accuracy.
Of course I weighted some parts immidiately. My tubeless type 6x15 Fuchs rim (their are two types!) was 5905 gram with tube installed still, but without hub cap. This almost is exactly like the 12,9 lbs you mention!

Also: at the porsche import agency of Pon here, I understood that the 964 RS had the 17" Cup I rims, but they are then forged magnesium ones with hollow spokes. They should be very light, but are also a rare wheel.

Cheers,
Walter
