I thought 162's weight 23lbs each, so total like less than 100lbs for 4 rims. If you drop 75lbs from that - you are left with less than 25lbs or 6lbs per rim! I've never seen 18' rim that weighs 6lbs! Either I'm getting something wrong or 75 pounds you've quoted is a VERY optimistic number. Please correct me if I'm wrong
P.S. I just checked Apex rims for e9x and lightest 18' rim they offer is 18.4lbs - making that essentially only 4 pounds per rim shaving or total of 16 pounds for 4 rim setup. Which is again not 75 pounds less as you quoted. Am I missing something here?
