They are 2nd hand robin. :happy2:


....You should be able to find out their weight online (apart from actually weighing them on accurate certified scales as I also did to check mine).

The seller should have kepts the weight labels to pass on (as I would if selling mine).

I've still got my powdercoated Monza 18's in storage and also included on my insurance along with my OZ's so I can ride on either without concern.

....Certainly  :happy2: A trackday favourite are TD's and they weigh just over 9 kg in 18's IIRC.

We look forward to seeing pics of them on the car and of you living in your garden shed when your wifey finds out  :evilgrin:

amazing wheels, the best over there in my opinion!

Those are hard to hide as opposed to things under the bonnet. My wife asked me what that hissing noise under the bonnet - twintake!

It's harder to hide things than to buy them!

....So true! And females have a sixth sense which tells them when anything whatsoever is being hidden, including when talking. I think it may have something to do with them being so good at hiding things themselves  :evilgrin:
