Title: ED30 Pescara wheel weight?
Post by: Leonard on September 08, 2011, 07:31:10 am

Looking at getting some winter wheels that are quite heavy. So was wondering what weight the ED30 Pescara is, so I can judge how badly performance will be affected.
Thanks
Matt

Iirc they are around 12kg, I may be wrong though.  Tbh its not going to affect performance that much for day to day driving, especially as you will change your driving to suit the conditions....... :happy2:
