Default How heavy??!!!!!

Just bought myself a set of 18" p1-wrc's. Theyre fitted with p-zero nero's already. They weigh in at 20kg's each!! Is that what they should be????? Thought they would be half that..

choose your car color, play a little around with the wheels. On the left sometimes they will show weights, have a look a the 16"bbs

Any idea about the weight of compomotive MO 18"?

I have just fitted the exact same wheels to my 53 plate WRX. Wheel on its own weighed 23.5lbs which is about 10.5KG. Weighed on digital scales.

My 17" Speedlines and Pirelli's were 20.2kg each .... my 18" Revolution PFF7's and Toyo's are 18.8kg each .... so around 20kg is probably about right!

Also borrowed my mothers very expensive glass digital scales to weigh both .... she wasnt happy!!

I recently bought a set of Rota tarmac II 18'' with Toyo 215/35/18 tyres http://www.rarerims.co.uk.

The weight of them is 18 KG .

They look just like the Prodrive ones but your keeping some money in your pocket .

Don't seem to fit very well though, maybe the alignment needs doing?

the GC series from Prodrive are the lightweight jobbies, but they cost a fair bit more too....
