    Would you happen to know what the weight of each wheel was? I have been thinking about getting a set.

    A word of caution with wire wheels. True spoke wire wheels will flex. My dad had some on his MG and got rid of them due to the way they affected the handling in 'spirited' drives.

    Easier to wash if you have the right tool.
