Was a bit off with my pricing buy still hoorin deer!!!

 

[Willie]

The Alleggerita is the newest and lightest OZ Racing wheel with exact fitment for the Renault Clio 172 and 182. This 9-spoke aluminium/silicon/magnesium alloy wheel comes in 8 colors: anthracite, black, blue, gold, matte graphite silver, orange, red, and white.

This wheel is characterized by:
- High Light Technology (HLT) for ultra lightweight and strength
- One-piece, cast construction
- Carbon fiber center caps

The wheel has the following specifications:
- Height: 17"
- Width: 7"
- Bolt patter: 4*100
- ET: 37
- Weight: 7.1 kg

Price listed is per wheel. Includes carbon fiber center caps and all mounting hardware

Not as light as I had thought either.

Think I'll just strip the coating off my alloys to save some lbs.
Infact the OEM shitty coating is doing it it's self, lol

i'm runnign ultrlegra's -- 8.0kg (8x18's) or 8.74kg for 8.5x18 nice and light! i think we're on the same mission with our motors its all about the carbonfibre my friend! or if its not bolted down then rip it out! on second thoughts... if its not structural then rip it out! lol.

Does Badger 5 do R32 discs in 2 peice???

 

[vee_dub_modder]

9x18 is 8.74kg sorry...

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

I reckon these are fairly light

Badger 5 does a 330mm x 28mm
Not going carbon fibre for a long time.
I've almost lost as much weight as I can. I have more to strip out but will be fitting a cage this winter which will add as much as I can loose.

I reckon these are fairly light

Is that the new tempered glass alloys I've heard the new McLaren is using

I'm not sure to be honest Willie....I stole the pic from wheel *****s but it didn't say what they were off.......look bloody smart tho

LOL
Sorry Adam I was joking, theres no way these are production alloys
Must be a mock up

RS Watamabe...

I had a spare set of 15" Watanabe Wheels on my Glanzav - I could lift them with one finger! Looked like minilites, they were great!

P.S. Willie - Surely if the OZ is 8.5kg, the OEM LCR is 10.5kg - that will be an 8kg saving not 4kg (4wheels?) Unless you're talking about saving on the driving wheels lol

Unsprung weight or rotational mass is what I'm thinking about not total weight saved, although this is helpful to my cause aswell.

 

[JamJay]

Excellent cheers for that.
So can still save myself 4Kgs with lighter rims

So with Badger 5 2 piece discs = 6kgs weight saving
Lighter fly wheel, not too sure how much I saved there
Lighter rims 4kgs.
All good

No worries Willie, looks like i've given you a bit to think about .

 

[cawsey18]

willie have you thought about the team dynamics pro race 1.2s ? .. i love mine . You can deffo feel the weight when cornering !

 

[Willie]

Aye I have bud, it's all down to cost.
I have a large amount of money going out this winter for other things, once everything else is done I'll be looking into wheels.
The short list is Pro race 1.2's, OZ Ultraleggeras and anything else light

Not too sure all of these would fit without a spacer to clear the Brembo calipers.
I know the OZ Ultraleggeras do

Wouldn't go for the 1.2's

rimstock do them cheap though

Why not out of interest?
there cheap and lightish

 

[jonathanp]

Just not as light as I thought they were and although they're not a bad looking wheel you can get lighter wheels that look better, all personal preference mind

 

[cawsey18]

good for the price though compaired to oz and similar .

 

[vee_dub_modder]

Go for OZ's wrapped in some toyo R888's you wont regret it failing that get some Eagle F1's on them then follow them up with some light weight calipers and rotors then replace the wings, bumpers and bonnet etc with composite ones (see link)

thats my big plan starting with some shiny carbon buckets (due any day)

 

[vee_dub_modder]

how goes the mission?? i've pulled 60.5kg out of my interior over the weekend... waiting on my carbon buckets now going to get some more wear out of my R32 discs and pads before chopping them in for something lighter (discs cost enough so better make the most of them lol)
