Suspected the same thing myself beforehand as the rims must be a bit wider, but I can happily report no perceptable difference whatsoever - not even .5%! Maybe as they are part of the cup pack they are just as light as the original mk2 rims? Maybe lighter?! Just wished I'd remembered to weigh both while they were off the car! I suppose if it really disturbed you, you could trash the spare wheel and get some of the aerosol stuff instead? I wasn't going to,, but believe me, you won't feel any need ;-)k3nnis said:Hi Meady100,
Nice rimsI am gonna get the exact same one as you and i also have a MK2 172 in silver.
Do you have more pics? Different angles?
Also you had 16" stock wheels previously, when you changed to the 182 cup rims do you feel the car is slower in accelerating as i believe they are heavier. bUt i may be wrong.
What tyres are you using? 205/45/16?
Cheers,
Kenn.
