Do your wheels really weigh 40kg Sharkie?..

It wouldn't surprise me. OEM 17x7.5 with road tyres on an Audi A4 will weigh in at 21-25kg depending on the style of the wheel. Every extra inch in diameter will add 1-2kg and every extra inch in width will add 1-2kg. Add in that they are "heavy duty" off road style rims & 40kg isn't outside the realms of possibility. All in the wrong spot too (outside of the cylinder).

If you can pull some weight out of the wheel tyre combo you'll see some noticeable gains in acceleration & suburban fuel economy.
