4th gen 8-spoke vs 5th gen 5-spoke rear wheel weights

Recommended Posts

I have a 5th gen ('99). I think that the 8-spoke is a more attractive wheel, but before I purchase one, I'd like to know how much they each weigh (bare, without tires mounted).  Does anyone have the data handy? Thank you!

 

Alternatively, are there any aftermarket wheels that fit as well?

The 5-spoke and 8-spoke rears weigh the same - 12 pounds according to my old bathroom scale. Neither had tires, weights, or valve stems.

 

Dunno about aftermarket, but they'd be unlikely to be less expensive than an old oe 8-spoke. And they do make a 5th gen look its best.
