Wheel weight : 16" turini vs 15" 2118's/ultraleggeras

[Chris205]

As title, whats the differences? I fancy like dropping down wheel size and want some 2118's ideally, or ultraleggeras

2118's are heavy! U want light go ultras

Dont you have bigger tires on 15's? So you gain weight in rubber?

^ 15" tyres typically have a larger profile but lower width and obviously radius... No idea on the weight effects this would have but my 16" tyres feel heavier than my 15" ones.

Ultraleggera in 15"

2118's are amazingly heavy in road spec. Magnesium versions like they used on the Cup cars are far too brittle for road use. Plus, they're pretty much the ugliest wheel ever made.

UL's on the other hand, look brilliant in 15". I've been tempted a few times.

I've had a couple of sets of 2118's In the past, they're quite heavy just not sure whether the ultra's in 15s will look lost
