Mazda Enkei Weights?

designforlife · Mar 18, 2011

Apologies if this has been covered, but what are the wheel weights of the Enkeis found on the phoenix spec ed?

I can only find weights for the Enkei RP01s, which are similar, but have different outer lips, stepped,not curved.

thx!

I'm kicking myself now because i have just sent a set to be refurbishment and meant to weight them first.

They will have Toyo R888 tyres fitted when they come back.

Best i can do is weight them with tires and subtract the tyre on tuesday.

thanks mate

currently "weighing" up between keeping my enkeis and having them refurbed, or getting a set of rota zero plus. as refurbing will cost considerably less than a new set of alloys.

If the enkeis are pretty light then this will help steer my decision, as i do like them visually (when the paints not falling off).

I got this set for the track and picking them up they do seem light.

No i have checked, no pictures and cant identify what the wheel code is.

Got wheels back today. Good job considering how rotton they were.
Fully stripped using chemicals, repaired and fully powder coated and tyres fitted and balanced £180 for 4.

Dims and weight

Enkei 15 x 6jj offset 40

Only other codes on the back are NB LO and 1 DOT

Weight 6.5kg or 14.5 lb

Intresting that the Toyo proxies R888 15 195 55 im going to put on the are 8.5kg or 18.5lb

Didn't realise they were as heavy as 7KG, that isn't really that lightweight?

sweeney · Mar 20, 2011

For a standared factory fitted 15" wheel i think they are quite light.
What are you comparing them too

niggle · Mar 20, 2011

15" Mk2 Sport wheels are 6kg.

sweeney · Mar 20, 2011

The OP doesn't have a set off these so its hardly relevant.
But granted they are lighter but its hardly anorexic comparing 13.1 to 14.5!

So back to the OP post in my opinion they are light and worth a reburb if he likes the style instead of spending alot more on new.

sweeney · Mar 20, 2011

It takes time to strip the whole wheel so i dont think you will find any.

I used this place.

Are those wheels silver...or are they actualy really light goldy champagne colour....i like like the latter!

sweeney · Mar 21, 2011

They were silver but i picked gold for the refurb mainly because im just useng them as a track rim.

I recently bought a second hand set of these enkeis. I didn't know the weight of them but i'm surprised they're heavier than the mk2 sport mazda enkeis. Especially when they're the exact same size and offset. When I get the tyres off mine i'll get them weighed...

Was hoping they'd be nearer 13.5lbs

sweeney · Mar 21, 2011

They are defo 14.5lb each.

designforlife · Mar 25, 2011

6.5kg a corner is even better then

I found a place in hemel hempstead that will strip, repair and powdercoat for ?180 quid, and even store the car for you over the two days they do the work.
