| Re: Vrs wheels weight and A3 wheel weight on 1.4 mpi i think that maybe OEM wheels. I was really suprised just how heavy they are over the OEM skoda wheels. I did weigh my S3 alloys when I bought them but dont have the numbers on me. I will update when I get home. |

| Re: Vrs wheels weight and A3 wheel weight on 1.4 mpi the difference is not that much though , maybe 1kg iirc , i think the whole point of alloys is for the better appearance compared to steel rims with plastic trims fitted , a lot of the aftermarket alloys weigh a great deal more than steel rims
