Title: Re: IML: 68 Imperial weight

I weighed the wheel covers on my ‘67 once (they are the same as far as components, just color is different) and they were 12.5 lb, if I recall correctly. So maybe add 50 lb rather than 24 lb?

It amused me at the time because the alloy wheels on my Honda CRX weigh slightly less.
