I have no idea. If you refer back to the original post I
mention that I only just installed them and don't even have
the fronts in place.
Than\t said, the diameter appears REALLY close to stock, and
in fact the calculations I did put it within 1%. So the only
other factors are weight and rolling resistance. I haven't
weighed the 14" stock steel's vs. the 15" Alloy Rheins but in
lifting them around they didn't feel much different. As for
rolling resistance, I have no idea.
Thanks,
Chris
