I recall reading on here that they are about a kilo heavier than an NC35 rear, so a touch over 6 kilos.

Because you can get a 17 inch bros wheel cheaper than an rvf wheel
It's not having what you want but wanting what you've got....Loud ,Proud and Modified ....

I thought it was just for tyre choice as a much cheaper route than rvf rim
ive got my wet on a bros wheel + just curious about weights, ive got 2 bros wheels but both got tyres on
if i manage to get a weight ill put it on here + update the weight list
