Default rotas rim weight

Hey does anyone out there with rota rims know how much each rims approx. weigh? Just wanted to get a rough idea of how much each rims weigh 18inch

Also if you order rims from Asia and get it sent over to Perth Australia is there any tax on it?

cheers

Thanks for that link and info, but wasn't sure if that was accurate when I was on it.

if weight is your main concern. then dont buy rota. cast rims are like 25-30% heavier than forged and like 15-20% heavier than spun/flowed rims.

quite a large list here of different wheel weights, hasn't been updated since 2010 so may not list newer design rims
