Default Anyone know the weight of a 19 x 8.5" BBS CH wheel?
What is the "bendability" of this wheel in this size? Any reports of easy bends, etc.?

Thanks,

Joe

Solid, heavy wheel. See Rob O's post for the weight.

Yup ... my Avus shod w/OE P6000s (and no wear) came in at 53 lbs, so 27-28 lbs is spot on.

BBS says: 24.04 lbs. Strong wheel. BBS makes first-rate wheels.

Default BBS also said the 18" CH weighed something like 21-22 lbs
I weighed them myself and they were more like 24 lbs. There was a holy war over it in the A4 forum about a year ago or so? James R weighed them on certified scale and found the exact weight. So, I'd asssume the 19's are heavier than 24 lbs, maybe more like 26.
