are these wheels lighter or heavier than the ones with tubes in them?

I don't think they are much different in weight, but not having to keep them inflated is a huge bonus.

Maybe a little lighter...not really noticeable, but not having to worry about flats is fantastic! I have never regretted changing to these wheels.

I think they are probably a little heavier though I haven't really noticed a big difference. Very happy with the conversion. I had to pump up my tires every time I used them. I even put fix a flat in the old tubes but no real change.

There's no notable difference. Have now used them for about 6 months and they are excellent!

My measurements match Stephen S's. Don't know the weight of the wheel without skewers, they weigh a whole lot more now than when I received them.

HEAVY! If you're looking for a lighter race tube go with Vittorias Ultralight Tubes. But these work well for training rides and putti around town.

Yes, they are. I have not had a problem. I am not sure about the weight but they are heavy enough.

Hello Roxann....no they are not heavy at all. Very sturdy. There is a heaviness in this regards as a quality product.

Yes I believe they are lighter, partially because of the smaller batteries. Why would you want to exclude the batteries in your comparison? Compact usually means smaller. Check the Makita web site.

The spokes are steel. Not sure what you're asking on the wheels. I got this cart for my Wife, and she loves it. The only issue I have with the cart is the tub tends to disengage with really heavy loads. I highly recommend this cart, you will not be disappointed with this purchase.

I have found that the wheels start to bow under the weight. Both my kids weigh 23lbs each so they aren't heavy at all.

The question isn't as easily answered as I thought it would be. From their appearance to me, I believe the structure of the tubes is metal. They seem heavy enough and they certainly are sturdy. To get a "for sure" answer, you might have to contact Vivitar.

They are not lighter weight. They are very much the same size/weight as factory.

I can't tell you the weight. What I can say is that after getting them on my Yukon XL they really do look great. Huge improvement over my stock 18" rims. They fill up the wheel well much better.

Well, they don't come any lighter. I think even less than the 8-10 lbs from another. The folding latches on it are so much better than the typical walker; the color is great and it works fine. The bags that come with it are useless.

The wheels come connected by a small piece of wireframe. All together, both wheels with the wireframe connecting the two are 0.42g or 6.5 grains.I would estimate the wire-frame constitutes less than 5% of the weight, but that's a guess since they're all one piece. I would guesstimate each wheel alone being roughly 0.19g

My pair are loaned out, so I can't weigh them for you. They are lighter than the standard crutches that I was issued. Still incredibly strong/ reliable product, it's probably lighter because there is one metal support instead of two. I hope that helps. If you need exact weight then I will ask the person borrowing them to weigh them for me. Otherwise, some vendor sites do specify. Best wishes.

Lighter than the metal ones. Comes in a nice carry bag. Probably 10-15 pounds I would guess!
