How much does the 698M wheel weigh?

MikesBMW · 12-19-2019, 08:01 PM

Can't find the weight of the 698M 19" wheel. Anyone know?

They're F*CKING HEAVY. I would estimate approximately 30KG. I (stupidly) put some mount points in my garage about 8 feet in the air. It seemed like a good idea at the time.

Lifting them up is far from fun.

Half as much as two of them would weigh

These assessments are disconcertingly disparate

dkreidel · 12-21-2019, 05:33 PM

30 kg sounds about right for the 19" 698 wheel and tire assembly, especially a RFT

You just made sense of the situation. One guy weighed the wheel, the other the wheel and tire

I'm not sure about a wheel but...a human head weighs 8lbs

The Dueler RFT was 35 lbs

The 698M wheel was 28 lbs

The Pilot Sport A/S 3+ was 31 lbs

245/50R19

This charts lists 26.9 lbs whereas I measured 28.0... which I guess is an acceptable margin of error ~ 4%. I wasn't using a professional scale or professional methods (I stood on a scale while holding the wheel).

Nonetheless, "around 27 to 28 lbs" is a good number - much lighter than the 20" and 21".

Haha all good, this really made me laugh. You got there in the end!

Hey, I don't have all the answers. In life I failed as much as I have succeeded. But I love my wife. I love my life. And I wish you my kind of success.
