Would you do me a favor now??
When the wheels come off for Avon installation, would you weigh one of each and post?
My uncoated, unfinished wheels weigh 17.8-F / 19.7-R.
Then weigh with an Avon on each. Radials being much heavier than bias anyway.
The BB's on my wheels with balance weights are 35-F / 41-R.
Not a pissing contest-I'm hoping to help guys on the fence about mag see the dramatic savings in unsprung weight. Sort of add to the CC database.
Although not actually weighed, I had a borrowed set of PS wheels in 7.5 and 9.5 (aluminum FIAs) which were substantially heavier than the mags.
