Not a bad price for a set of lightweight 18"s - apparently brand new, but a wheel that was discontinued a good while back and oddly has part worn tyres fitted??

Still, not a bad price and only about 8kg a wheel

Real classic wheel! Shame that is was discontinued!

I think they're a much nicer wheel than the Ultras that replaced them.

Seem a good little buy for someone, cheeky phone call and a Ã‚Â£500 offer.

Here's a useful site, not the most up-to-date, but gives an idea of common wheel weights.
