Nice about 18 lbs.
Same here
, when I saw the finish off the CNC I was hooked and there's still some silver and chrome on the car to tie it all in . Their ceramic coated and I'll see how they wear .I can always look at cerakote latter . Too many colours to choose from .Koya told me their closer to 19Ibs @ 8.5kg to 8.8kgs . I'm more interested to compare the wheel tyre combo to the original 19" tyre combo ,need to get some scales .
Cheers

19.05 lbs. I guess the bronze paint weighs more. Black and silver are below 19lbs. But they are $373 per wheel so I'd rather get a similar color and save $100+ per wheel

Mate, it’s not how much the wheels weigh .Its how much power you have to rotate them

The thread title is Lightweight Wheels so I like to know how much they weigh. Weight is important to me for various reasons. Less weight reduces unsprung weight requiring less power to get started, shorter braking distances. This explains it better than I can.Mate, it’s not how much the wheels weigh .Its how much power you have to rotate them

Hey no problem at all. It's just with a thread title of Lightweight Wheels I like to know the weight because weight is actually more important to me than looks. When I'm building my car I'm looking for things that make it look good but most importantly go good. So when I got my 18 GTI SE I chose the Motegi MR131 because I liked the way they looked but more importantly reduced the weight 8 lbs per wheel. Then I got the ECS 2 piece rotors saving an additional 4.5 lbs per wheel for a total weight savings of 50 lbs. That's permanent weight savings without sacrificing anything like removing seats etc.Lighten up guys

I need to weigh the original wheel/tyre combo and compare it to the new combo . I managed to remove 30kgs + with out touching body panels or interior ,next reduction would be brake calipers/2 piece disc .
With the current weigh loss I had to back of the shock adjustment due to the ride being harsh ,lack of complacence on B grade roads ( B grade roads seem to every road today ) with the 19" wheels .
With the 245/40r18 I was able to revert back to the original shock adjustment and have better road compliance with 40psi tyre pressure .
Cheers
