That's OK but the Superleggeras come in at 8.9kg...
Chatting with a friend who work in the motor industry, they work on a saving of 1kg rotationa mass as equivalent to 15kg from inside the car. Not sure on the validity of this but it does make some sense.
So at 2.1kg lighter per corner (8.4kg total) that's like adding a fairly hefty person... apparently!

They're not called Superleggera (= super lightweight) for nothing....

Oh and it's true, the loss of rotational mass is a really big deal - inertia for a wheel and come to think of it those big brake discs, all multiplies significantly.Martin Cutting

No weights for BBS RY - booo!
Ah well, such is the cost of breaking the mould.
Nothing feels fast for long...

what size are your wheels .Comment

17"x8"
My mistake, I had these at 19.6lbs (8.9kg) but they're actually 16.4lbs so that's 7.5kg. They sure feel light!Cheers'en, AndyC

The BBS RK in 17" is fairly light 8.7 kgs
