The search for lightweight alloys
Sunglasses Ron:
I remember weighing my 1.2's before I put tyres on them and they weighed 8.5kgs each, the Pescaras were just under 13kgs each if that helps..

Anyone knows exactly how much 18-inch Monza II weighs?
Sunglasses Ron:
About 1340kgs... :grin: They're the bling rim don't you know..

I do understand the whole weight saving scenario but I would rather buy a set of alloys i liked that met some of the criteria and then shed weight from other parts of the car and save some of that £2k for other mods.

I love my black Monzas! :happy2:
But I want to change my alloys, that'll be first time for me, might as well do it right! :smiley:
Forged are too expensive. I may have considered Neuspeed forged alloys, but there are no distributors in Switzerland, and ordering from UK will be expensive.
