I think I remember reading it being 27 or 28lbs. Either way, very heavy.

Default Can stock rims be repaired?
I have a small crack(1/2") on the inner lip(where rim meets tire) of the rim and it leaks air out there?
Can aluminum be weleded or can I buy some cold weld compaund?

I can make a pic tonight...

The rims ain't made of aluminium. Otherwise they'd be much lighter.
