Default Weight of wheels - Selena, Others

I did a forum and google search but could not find the weight of the 20 inch Selena's, anyone have this and what other Jag wheel weights are?

No replies? I did find out the Selena weigh 1lb less per tire than the 18 inch Cygnus or Venus (from the Manual). So if anyone knows the weight of those the Selena weight is then known. Interested to know so when I buy winter wheels I can understand change in unsprung weight.

Sorry to say I cannot assist you in wheel specs to any degree, but I will say that Jag uses ridiculously heave wheels.

I have the 19" Carelia's and the rear tire/rim combo weight is an appalling 65lbs!
Rims for my XK's 5-108 bolt pattern are difficult to find (nor are they cheap) at best, but some do exist at or near the 20-23lb range.

That should easily equate to a 15 to 20lb weight savings per corner.

(sigh) If only my pockets were slightly deeper.....

Thank you for the repsonse. 65 lbs! I was happy to find out the 20 inch Selena's were lighter than the 18 inch wheels. Where did you find out the weight of your wheels?

Took-em off and weight them! I consider 55lbs heavy...
My last car was under 45 each (but 17's)

Curious, what was the weight you saw on the Venus?

I'm actually interested in getting ultralight 18", but am having no luck with the Jag bolt patterns.... Grrrrr

Sorry for the late reply, I missed your response. I did not see any weight on the Venus, but my manual shows the relative weight of the wheels to each other. That's where I found out the 20 inch Selenas weigh less than the Venus. You would have thought they could have just listed the weights of the wheels.

I found a set of Selena's on ebay and inquired as to their weight. Response was 32.5 lbs for 8.5 inch front and 34 lbs for 9.5 inch rear wheel. Certainly not light.
