I weighed in 4x 15" mk5 RS2000 alloys with no tyres and the total was 28kgs hence 7kgs per wheel

Well I've got 2 sets of Lotus Excel wheels (1 with spare)
1 set of BMW 15's with tyres
1 set of random old 17's, one with tyre
and one very knackered Arospeed 18" with tyre

all to be weighed in, along with 2 cats, some other exhaust bits, couple of radiators, cast iron bath, cast iron garden table and a few other bits of iron

Hopefully raise a few quid and get a load of old crap out of the way!
