LCR lightweight wheels ideas...

[DOLBY]

hey peeps,
noticed yesterday that the paint on my refurbed alloys has started to peel off....only had them done 9 months or so ago.

Iam thinking of just taking these off now and fitting lightweight wheels...only thing is i love the design of the standard wheels...just wanna know if you can get lightweight versions of the standard LCR design?...as i want my car to have subtle changes.

if not i have been looking at other wheels but they will change the look of the car totally, but have the positive side effect of weighing 8kgs each....

1...rota wheels

2. dymag magnesium

i fancy the dymags, in bright silver......

any help?

i like the dymags mate, would look good if you were uber low aswell.

 

[DOLBY]

me too, but i dont want the discs and brembos covered up too much though lol......may go 18 x 8.5 with these too

Be diffrent, Dymags

Not seen them on a leon before, should look good, just be carefull of kerbing though.

dont fancy multi spoke matey,....i love the look of the LCR rims so i was hoping if anyone knows of a split 5 spoke lightweight pattern like the LCR? if not it will be the dymags in the brightest glossiest silver i can find

LCR alloys are actually quite light for the shape of them
I think you'll find it difficult to find lighter wheels in the same pattern.
The ones I have posted are 6.5Kgs in 17", the 18" OZ Ultraleggeras are 8.5Kgs and the OEM LCR ones are 10.5 Kgs

 

[DOLBY]

are they really only 10 kgs?....same as the BBS CH wheels i was also looking at......the dymags are only 8ks too (and are be asier to clean lol).....saying that, 2kgs from each corner and 10 kgs (spare) will make a huge difference i bet

 

[Willie]

Not just the weight, it's also rotational mass (unsprung weight).

How much are the dymags?

 

[DOLBY]

i had a look and i think they are around £669 for 18 x 8......but im thinking i may go and try 18 x 8.5 which is around £750

 

[DOLBY]

think the dymags will cover too much of the brembos.....
