Default Weight differences between Cages

Would anybody like to provide the weights of different available roll cages. I have the Wolfe bolt-in 6pt and am curious how much weight I can save by going to a chomemoly cage and possibly a 5pt.

I asked Wolf Racecraft that exact question, it was about 10-15lbs, not worth it IMO. So I'm going with the cheapest route, 5 point mild steel <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I think a 5 point chromeoly cage from Wolfe is only 55 pounds. Not positive though...
cheers,

When I do a cage I will probably do the Wolfe 6-pt chromoly one...63lbs isn't that much... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
