How heavy is the OZ Super T

[BaBOo]

Thinking about fitting them..

how heavy per rim in kg?



Thanks

 

[BenR]

i thought 17s were 12kg...i think!

 

[BaBOo]

Thanks Ben,

17s pretty heavy.

Ben, Im thinkingupsizing my 15" which is 3.5 kg or something to 16" or 17".

Do you think its worth the trouble?? 15" look very small on Clios.

I have lowered the car on eibach. by only by 20mm front and 10mm at the back...it says 30mm all round. oh well.

 

[BenR]

What wheels you got that weight 3.5kg!!!!???

 

[BaBOo]

Racing Hart CP035 forged wheel.

well, probably 3.8kg...cos mine is 15" X 6.5"

but yeah, below 4kg

 

[BenR]

sheesh, stay with them...dont bother with 17s!!!!

i think clios look best on the 15"ers.....like the cup racers.....

 

[BaBOo]

Thanks man, Ill take ur advice n save me some dollars.!

Why are some drivers so concerned about the weight of their wheels? Surely it doesnt matter too much unless you are a racing driver!!

 

[viceroy]

Lower unsprung weight which relates to an effectively much lighter car with much better handling

cause of the street cred.. err.. I mean what viceroy said..

 

[RobFenn]

Super Ts are overused anyway

I do like the toca look of the super tourismos

Anyone no what the [17s] performance loss Percentage would be on a 172, and would the extra grip in the twisties make up the lost time??

(im obvously thinking about getting some)

 

[BaBOo]

Yeah, it would be interesting to know...

17" on a 172 looks so much better!

 

[KDF]

I agree, and if sufficient funds were to come my way I would buy a set of 17" superleggeras..

Cause I think they suit the clio really well

Just to show once again how much i love my superLs (replaced my superTs with these), lowered with Eibach springs now (this was on avos). Lovely...cant wait for the 03 trackdays to start.

absolutely love your car mate!

I wish my car was this low.

I lowered my car on Eibach as well. but only lowered it 20mm at the front and 10mm at the back...not happy.

I lowered it last month, will the car gets lower as time goes on?

 

[wallisj]

I got my avos in at home in a box...they dont lower it much on eibach but i think are overall better springs if you are going for 17", if youre on 16" or less then avos are better.
