How accurate do you want to be?
Pretty sure it'll be between 8 and 10kgs.

Ah, I see.
If you don't get any other responses in the next day or two I'll rip one off and weigh it - I've got 4.5" minilites with new A008s, no tubes.
Let me know.

Maybe get some genuine magnesium minilites . Then you will save a few kg and fit them in easy.

Let out the air first ....Remember air has weight!

And replace it with helium

Bugga -only have 30Kg each - even if I could get one in each case it would save the freight on 2

That weight is for 4 rims with tyres on with some "air" i think its so they dont fall apart.
I am not sure what 10x5 weigh as i have never purchased 10x5"s

A 4.5X10 Minilite + A008 (with balance weights, steel valves...and air) weighs 9.2kilos

Cheers, Ian

Thanks - now to start wheeling and dealing - even if I bring home two in our cases it will halve the freight

Go via the US.... or around -the- world. Any ticket that includes a US stop -over gets a much larger weight allowance...

Two in the checked bag and two carry-ons??

I think I've mentioned before; I once managed to get a carry-on that I couldn't lift with one hand onto a Qantas 747..... javascript:emoticon('8)')

Unaccompanied baggage is pretty much your cheapest option.

Cheers

After reading this thread you do realize I’m going to be glued to the telly every Sunday night for months
Watching every customs and boarder control program in the slight hope of seeing a man trying to smuggle four ten inch wheels into Australia in his luggage…..

Only reason the authorities where alerted to this suspect individual was because the drug sniffing beagle started to act funny and bark in a very high pitch bark. As one of the helium filled wheels had developed a slow leak while in transit.

After deciding a full body frisk was in order customs officers removed one aerial and two weather strips from the suspects’ body and further x-rayed the man only to find a complete disassembled mini gear box that where in condoms that had been swallowed in his stomach.
Officers where alerted to the man before the beagle started to act strange………
He seemed to be wearing a hat that was fashioned out BK450 head gaskets and to be wearing a 9 piece carpet trousers and jacket……
