Rim Weight
Hey All,
I dont have any access to scales myself so I was wondering if anyone has a rough idea as what each of the 16 inch GTI rims weigh?
Im trying to calculate the weight difference in regards to getting 17's.
Cheers

9kg. per wheel

Thank you very much. Ive been told that the 17inch wheels which are Monza copies weight approx 33-34 llbs each which equates to 15.4kgs.

hmmmmm. Really? I had no idea, I thought it was normal. Im dying to get 17's but I dont want to slow my car down too much so Im hesitant.

I got VW 17s on. I don't notice any difference from when I test drove it with the 16s. With bigger wheels comes lower tyres, which could account for some of the extra weight, I dunno?

Heavier 17" wheels make the car slower for sure...
06 Polo GTI - REVO Stage 2 = 140kw @ wheels.
06 Golf GTI - Bluefin Stage 1 blacked out with ED30 theme, leather, xenon, etc.

I realise that is definately the case but I want to minimise the effect as much as possible.
