What would you guess is the average weight of the wheels?

Thanks!

Don't know on the weight, I forgot to weigh them prior to mounting the tires. They were nowhere near as heavy as I expected they were. A front wheel/tire combo weighs in at 51lbs and a rear wheel/tire combo was about 56lbs as measured by me standing on my POS bathroom scale while I was holding an example of each.

And a little update, I can now put my paranoid mind at rest.

Inside of wheels as shipped. Oversize centerbore, not hubcentric...



After some quality time with a lathe and some 6061-T6 barstock (plus Alodine conversion coating afterwards for some corrosion protection) we have 4 of these. Sized to be .0015-.002" press fit into the wheels and .004-.006 total clearance over the front hubs and rear axles. The adapters sit .015" below the wheel's mounting pad.



The finished product. Put a light smear of loctite on the adapter rings prior to tapping them in for good measure.



And that's how you make a lugcentric wheel hubcentric.

I also faced off the "SHELBY" logos on the knockoff adapters. I ended up leaving them blank. Looks much better now!
