Default Wheel weight question

I've searched just about every topic possible for the answer.

I need the weights for:
TSW Thruxton 20x10
Ruff R280 & R281 20x10

Anyone who has this info please let me know.
I couldn't even find the email address for TSW, at least Axis list the weights on their website.

I read one topic where someone said the 20x120 Thruxton weighs 27 lbs but I wonder is thats true.

I'm want to do 19/20 combo. If the Thruxton 20x10 really does weigh 27lbs it will make a major inpact on my decision. The Motegi Touge I was looking at wiegh 26 lbs in 19x10 so I could just get another inch for pretty much the same weight thats if the Thruxon weigh 27. I can live with 27 lbs on a 20x10 since the OEM Track 19x10 weigh 29 lbs.

I highly doubt that...

I had a set of 20x8.5 Zenetti Stellas that were 38 lbs each. One of our sponsors told me the 19x9.5 Ruff R279s are 26lbs each. I dont know how that compares to the R280s...but it could be fairly close. Those were 19s though.

So I'm guessing the 20's are probable around 30 lbs then.

There is a reason why weight is not listed for these wheels. Besides if you are going 20 inches what difference does weight matter?

Performance and 20 inch wheels are contradictory. Go for bling. Go for performance. A compromise will get you neither.
