Posted March 24, 200916 yr comment_278678 Went to ship my rims yesterday and was getting the weighed. I was shocked at how light they were. 13.87 lbs. That's a fairly light wheel.

March 24, 200916 yr comment_278692 Unlike modern large diameter wheels, small 14" wheels can be significantly lighter than you might think. Your Shelbys were probably a touch lighter than average for a 14x6 aluminum wheel, but not totally unusual. That's one of the advantages of smaller rims. Of course the flip side of that is that 14" tires with all that sidewall are frequently heavier than 15, 16 or 17" tires of similar width and overall diameter, so the end result is not as different as it first seems. But in general, expect each inch increase in wheel diameter to add 2-4 pounds of unsprung weight.Don't forget to delete your classified ad....
