I was pretty surprized my tiny *** street tire's on stock rim's were so heavy compared to a "race wheel" with decent sized drag radials

im not sure on the stock k-member as we dropped it with the stock brakes, rack, tire rods, steering shaft pretty much everything

Now you just need to make that and your weight reduction thread again so they can reflect on each other.
Some of those seem really light....
