Standard alloy wheel weight?

I remember thinking they were bl**dy heavy when I took them off the car. The ride quality was also sh!t.

My Leon handles and rides better on the smaller 16" wheels which, after all, were the size originally fitted to the Cupra model.

The trend for fitting larger and larger rims is just fashion-driven and does nothing for ride quality, noise suppression, steering feel...

17" Leon FR+ Wheels weigh 11.2kg. So I can't see how its possible for an LCR wheel to be 10.5kg

Just installed some Team dynamics 1.2 in 17x7.5 with et22 offset. They weigh 9.1kg and the standard fr mk1 were 10.1kg
