another new wheel topic....

I'm thinkin anthracite might look good on mine as a light weight option, how light does anyone know for the 8x18's?

8.5kg ish - iirc.

[bondy]

They look really good mate, defo on the daylight pics. look forward to seeing them.

[E30Dom]

Yeah my Team Dynamics are 9.0kgs, that 4kgs per corner saving ;)

[T88OMM]

WOW! They look awesome, come to think of it....I want a new set of wheels 

[GTIjames]

had a good run out in them today on the way to get the exhaust fixed and then back, got to say I love them the steering feels alot lighter and sharper and the slight wobble i got with the 10mm spacers has gone -

will take some pics of the spacers I have had removed, on all 4 of them the hubcentric ring has snapped off...

 i used to get a wobble when breaking i thought i had warped the new brake discs but since the change of wheel no more wobble  dont use spacers!!!

no daytime pics yet as weather was terrible hopefully tomo

[Top Cat]

What make were the spacers. 

[GTIjames]

the spacers were from Wheelman the chap on the forum, 10mm hubcentric variety were a good price but maybe not so strong and I do thrash it about alot so wouldn't of helped things..

my own fault for buying breaks which needed a spacer, was warned about them but gambled on the brakes fitting and they didn't at first. would have been cheaper to pay more for say the VWR kit which fits OEM et51 wheels, anyhow just a thought

but well pleased with new wheels!! 

[candy turbo]

look great, thinking of a change myself, mmmm like those

if yours are up for grabs mate , come to me !!!!!!!

[SteveTDCi]

i think these will be the new bbs CH's, hopefully i'll get a set of these in anthracite sometime in the new year. They look really good :)

MonzaII are 12.1kg per wheel, so 3kg weight saving, to be exact

[GTIjames]

some daylight pics for you - cars a bit filthy but you can get the idea.. 

[RedRobin]

^^^^
Those wheels in silver really suit your silver car extremely well - They don't look aftermarket.

Lighter weight wheels are a revelation aren't they!

Lighter weight wheels are a revelation aren't they!

Are they?
What exactly do you notice with your OZ Alleggeritas?
I do not notice much improvement, braking is probably somewhat better, true, but then again I do not do track.

....I won't hijack James' thread - My thoughts about the Alleggerita's are in my review thread here : -

Noticeable when driving enthusiastically on the road, not just track. Lighter weight wheels contribute to, and are a part of, the whole suspension package. Would I notice them on standard suspension? - I don't know.
