Re: Vrs wheels weight and A3 wheel weight on 1.4 mpi

is that 22kg for each corner are they genuine A3 wheels, or replicas?

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.

VRS wheels are actually lighter than the steel spare with new tyre

Isn't that the whole point of alloy wheels? From the odd wheel change, I'd say 20kgs was about right. In any case, to answer the OP, your car should handle the weight no problems...

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
