Velgen VMB9 :) are only approx. 1- 1.5 kg each, heavier than TSW Bathurst (if my research is correct):doh: which I would be sure they are both lighter than OE wheels, and I really think it comes to what look the best, I much prefer the Velgen VMB9 and hope I can do a good deal on them with tyres. :ford:

Depending on the size comparison you are correct

1 kg is 2.2 lbs

Refer to post #8 for exact weights of 19" Bathurst wheels.
No idea what the Velgen wheels actually weigh, although Paul@PKAUOTDESIGN would certainly know the specifics.

I was asking about the Project 6GR wheels you mentioned :)

Sorry mate, they are rotary forged. 23-25lbs depending on configuration according to the source. Not sure how that stacks up against others but at 10 & 11", the comparison might not be entirely fair

Hi Paul. Thanks for the info you have provided on this. Are you able to advise on the exact weight for Velgen VMB9 ... 9" & 10.5" wheels to suit Mustang. I have not been able to attain exact only speculated weights. The Velgen Site does not provide any wheel specifications, perhaps something you could suggest to them.
Regards, Don

Ya those look good. The VMB5 or 6 would look good polished as well. A polished bronze would be cool as well. Like on a black mustang with gold accents or stripes.
