How many ten pound wheels do you see here?

19 pounds is about average for the TYPICAL 15 X 6.5" - 15" X 7" gravity cast aluminum wheel.

Racing wheels tend to bend on bad pavement (e.g. potholes, which our roads are full of). I don't want that. I want a robust wheel that's designed to handle the realities of STREET use.

Oh, I'm 45 and have a degree in mechanical engineering.

Go anything else you want to ask?
