wheel weights

Just saw the post. I want to first say, I applaud your effort. Most of my best friends are Mechanical Engineers working for Raytheon, Lockhead, and other goverment agencies. They all strive for this information as well.

Remember, most of these companies are working hard to get through SEMA right now, and what you are asking for is not EASILY achieved as I can tell you that most wheel companies do not stock these items, but build them to order. What I'm ultimately telling you is that these are not off the shelf waiting for someone to run and grab, and weigh. So, to give you what you are looking for, in the vast amount of wheels you have listed, could take several months for companies to put together for you. I hate to burst your bubble or anything, and I certainly don't want to disappoint, but I wanted to shed some light on what it is that you are looking for, and how difficult it is to put together. Not to mention that usually customers want their wheels to ship ASAP, and our production crew works effortlessly to produce in a quick amount of time. Throwing a wrench in the production program and grabbing wheels off the cleaning table to weigh could effectively slow down the shipping progress. You many think not, but believe me, it will.



We do however have plans to start weighing wheels as we can get a chance to, and will be adding that information to an excel spread sheet, but like I said above, it will take time.

If you have any further questions, PM me. We've been slammed by the SEMA crunch, as have most, and I will get an email if you PM. Thanks.

thank you. as time consuming as it will be and as big a pain in the ass it will be, striving to get these weights is a worthwhile quest in spite of how difficult it will be to do. this type of information, just as much as looks, finishes, and customer service, sells wheels.

i understand everything you're saying, and i am perfectly OK w/ this process taking many months.

my bubble is still intact . i propose a semi-solution below.

We do however have plans to start weighing wheels as we can get a chance to, and will be adding that information to an excel spread sheet, but like I said above, it will take time.

might i suggest buying a nice digital scale or two (or three or four for that matter) that'll give you weight in lbs and kg. put them throughout your plant/assembly line etc to make it easier to weigh wheels at the best possible time, thus maintaining your speedy delivery schedule. also, take pics of the wheels on the scale. whenever a new wheel is finished up, put it on the scale, snap a pic, mount a tire (or not), and ship it out.




forget about this thread, enjoy SEMA (take pics!), and i'll send out a reminder later this year to see where you and your colleagues are at w/ this process. and thank you for being a good sport. so far, you're the only person i've contacted brave enough to step up to the plate, and IMO that says a lot.
