what wheels are they?
they look l like monzas but look a bit bigger?
--- End quote ---
monza's has a flat front, these bend out quite a bit in the middle of the "O" compared to the Monza's

....Do you mean they look more 'dished'? The W12 had bodywork to accommodate a wider more dished wheel.
The problem with that photo is that a wide angle lens is distorting things... Check the front wheel perspective with the rear wheel perspective - They're not in the same plane. All the detail is lost in the bodywork too - It's a crap photo imo.

Look at this pic he posted in his new wheels tread:
You can clearly see that the rim bends outways in the "middle of the hole" as opposed to the monza's that are totally flat facing outwards :happy2:

^^^^
Thanks, Jake (yet again!) :drinking:
Yep, that pic is much better (a great photo imo) and clearly shows the dishing.
If the Monza 18's weigh 12kg (to the nearest) and my OZ Alleggerita's are 8kg, I wonder what the heck those 19's weigh.... A lot! Must be over 13kg each.

Sure he mentions that they are 10kgs each so pretty light. (still cant stop looking at these)

....I don't think he can be right. Original BBS Monza's use their Hollow Technology and replicas are always heavier. Even an original Monza 17 weighs 11kg each (without tyres).

I Know you are interested in the wheel weight of wheels Robin, but this is turning into a debate in the wrong section. I try and keep this section for reference and modding/design ideas. Why not start a thread in the relevant section about these wheels. :happy2:
