That's interesting. Is there a weight difference between the two different version. An S-Heavy and S-Heavier if you will....

Need to put them on a scale, the "Lone Lite" (Czech) felt less heavy. Different tone when tapped with a mallet. More tinny.(?)

I imagine the "Lone Lite" might be an ex Russian tank. :arf:
Now I will have to pull my S-heavies out of the plastic bags and look at where they were manufactured.
Darn you miniconcarne. :lol:

And just when you think you can't learn any more about S-lites... :lol:

I just checked my collection of S heavys, 2 are from Hungary, 1 from Czech.
They're both heavy but very different on inside.
It may an age difference.
This version of wheel has been around for several years. the various numbers and letters cast into the spokes probably conceals the build date, I just don't know the code.:confused5: -

:idea:The best thing to do with an S-Lite is hang them on them on the wall in your garage and use them to hold extention cords & water hoses.

I mounted my run-flats on a set of s-heavies that a friend gave me. This particular combination of wheels and tires is dog heavy, but makes for a great set of spare wheels/tires for when I need to have my nice set off the car for a while (or have a MINI friend in need).
I've got the bottom set in the photographs... I can remember trying to clean down in the nooks and cranies on the back side!
