Wheel weights...

[Gary G]

All weights rim only....

Anthracite 182- 9.7kg

Rota Grids- 7kg (16x7 et40)

Rota Slipstreams- 6.3kg (16x7 et45)

Hope thats of some interest to someone lol

It does illustrate a big weight difference but I would be more interested in the performance advantage with lighter wheels ie accelleration cornering etc.

Does anyone know?

 

[Gary G]

Yes

Now that the fitment is correct i can drive it like its meant to be driven. Feels awesome, can honestly say that lighter rims do make a difference on these cars....makes them feel even more agile :-D

Glad youve got it sorted. I do like the look of it a nice trackday car look.

So performance difference with the lighter wheels noticeable. I best put them next on the list and start saving.

..ah weight..i see you have the slipstreams now and not the grids, et45 then as per your first post?

Yes mate, all good now....no rubbing what so ever with the ET45s. Not sure what the caliper clearance would be like if i hadnt of previously trimmed them for the grids tho.
