Post by: Dave Harmon on November 29, 2022, 09:50:12 PM: I have good info from some time back telling me that the 2.25" aluminum wheels were discontinued for some reason.
They were very popular....hope my stash of them does not run out.

you´re welcome
i have no idea of weight as i have no 2,25 size but since they are for e-power is "close to nothing". even the big ones are awesome light
all of the products they sell are very light indeed, pretty sure will fit.
let us know when you have them
regards
