N64 Aluminum Spare Weight

Simple question......How much does the N64 10-Spoke Aluminum Spare weigh? This would be the advertised weight with the tire on the rim and no air. What is the difference between it and the steel spare with tire? I searched but couldnt find the answer. THX

Re: N64 Aluminum Spare Weight

I'll have to find my scale to weigh the N64 spare and the original steel mini spare.But I can tell you it's a very noticeable difference.I thought about weighing the two before I put the N64 in the well but couldn't find my scale then.Someone else maybe able to tell you quicker.

Re: N64 Aluminum Spare Weight

Good info about fitment but nothing on weight. THX anyway. I have one for sale and a potential buyer wants it for an S-10. He wants to know how much it will save him on weight. If its a good deal savings he might buy it. I have it over in storage and I didnt have time to take a scale over and weigh it. But I will soon. Thanks for the trys. Maybe someone whos tested them B4 will ping in. =)
