Not looking for an exact value here, just an indication for postage costs....

I am needing to send a set of 7.5x17 alloys and tyres and a 12" sub and stealth box. I've received a quote on the assumption that the combined weight is less than 130kg....

Is it???

Should bloody hope so.

Would guess and say wheel and tyre is under 20kg.

Have you not got any bathroom scales?

no, and I though they would have decent scales at my work... doh!

Had a look on the net and yes, a typical 17" alloy & tyre weighs approx 45lbs which is 20kg

Cheers

How sad is this, got a brand new set of 17's in the garage with 205/45 tyres, just got the bathroom scales and weighed each one to find that they are just under 20 kilos each.:P

I know my 17" Speedline's are lighter just by lifting them.
