Just FYI - Turini's are c1.4kg lighter than a standard 182 wheel

[CrashBurnFly]

As I was fitting some newly refurbed Turini and had both types of wheels to hand and wondered how much lighter a Turini is …

An original Turini (38.5) weighs 8.3kg, which is c. 1.4kg lighter than a standard 182 wheel at 9.7kg.

The 16" Turini is also 1.2kg lighter than a 15" 2118!

Wow. I knew they were heavy but that’s mad!

That bag of sugar per wheel really makes a big difference

Does when you swap them out for something that's reasonably light (circa 6.5kg). The difference in steering feel and response alone is night and day from a 3kg drop per corner of un-sprung rotational mass. They look cool though so i get it.

You just wanted to justify the £800 you spent on new wheels

Ha, ive spent way more than that on shite i don't need. No justification needed. Lol
Just be careful not to have a go in another clio with sensible wheels on, youre likely to rip the steering wheel off if you use you usual amount of input
