My absolute Nr 1 wheels in terms of design are the Alpina Classic wheels made by BBS. The only problem I would have are the stock offsets where I would be forced to use spacers.
back to the HRE FF15 wheels. The weight is incredible. I have calculated the weight difference between my current OEM 19" + Dunlop RFT setup and the FF15 20" + PSS. I come up to an overall saving of ~20kg (19.9kg) or 44lbs if I take the FF15.
I do not have the exact formula for rotating and unsprung mass but I guess the handling will be much better.
I think my bimmer will be grateful.  |
Here my OEM 351M weight vs my HRE wheel weight. And keep in mind the HRE are 20x9 and 20x11, while the OEM are 19x8.5 and 19x9.
I don't know how accurate the scala was though.
OEM 351M (kg/lbs)
28.7/63.3 + 28.9/63.7 + 29.9/65.9 + 30.2/66.6 = 117.7kg/259.5lbs
HRE (kg/lbs)
22/48.5 + 21.9/48.3 + 24.5/54 + 24.5/54 = 92.9kg/204.8lbs
So the much bigger HRE wheels are 24.8kg/54.7lbs lighter.
