Revolution wheels
Any ideas on weight of revolution wheels? 13x6
Love the oldschool look but don't want to sacrifice lots of weight, I've got cxr's at the mo

You need to make sure they fit over your brakes, I had a set but could not get over the rear calipers 
They also felt quite heavy compared to the minilites I have now.

Heavier than CXRs... but then any wheel is. Probably around a kg a corner. Plus you're gonna need sleeve nuts for them and they dont give a huge
amount of calliper clearance space.

13x6 are difficult to get over Sierra rear callipers, possible if you do the Fiesta Mk3 front disk trick and machine down the hubs.
Weights are about 5kg per corner (9kg per corner with ACB10's from memory).
or
14x6 (which were available on Westfields) are a bit easier and will go over Sierra disks and callipers. A bit heavier, but I can't remember
numbers.
These are my favourite wheels.

CXR's aren't the lightest wheels, there's plenty off the shelf wheels that are about 1kg lighter. I think that they're well
made though.

Really? I couldn't find a lighter off the shelf single piece 13x6 or 8 wheel, although finding 13" single piece wheels full stop is pretty
tricky these days...
