Minilite weights

Just a quick question:

I've recently bought some Carmona Minilites from Ebay, with Dunlop SP30s (IIRC) on them, and I was amazed at how light they are. Does anyone have any minilites to hand that they can weigh?

Mainly interested to find out if I'm going soft in the head, or they really are as light as I think!

Thanks, Simon.

What size are they Simon, some of the 13" wheels and tyres I've had can be very light around 8.5 ~9Kgs each

Cheers

They're 14 x 6J's.

I've not picked up anything other than 10" alloys for years, but they do feel lighter than the Sierra steels and tyres I have lying about.
