Cadiz vs Santiago vs Pretoria Weight in kg?
« on: 04 July 2017, 12:40 »
Hi all

Aside from cosmetic differences does anyone have the weights of these wheels...or indeed any of the current 7.5 golf choices? I am trying to see if it will effect performance at all

thanks

Obviously this only applies for genuine OEM wheels.

The Pretoria's are also available as an 18 inch wheel, but these are heavier than the 19's as they're cast.

Why such concern with the weight mariamartinez?
Is it because the car will be used on trackdays?

You could opt for standard wheels and get lightweight aftermarket wheels.
Something along the lines of Team Dynamics, REVO or VWR (made by the former) or something from an OEM manufacturer that looks really good are Borbet FF1 (with the FF standing for Flow Formed which makes them very light and they're much cheaper than OEM wheels if you break one at some point).

no not for track days, but mainly a concern for fuel economy, I want something that looks good but doesn't sacrifice economy; handling is less of a concern. Looking around I see lots of Cadiz and Nogaro for sale in various conditions, a few Pretorias and Santiagos but no Spielbergs or Bresicas....I guess the later are only recently released and no one is "upgrading" them

Surely spending whatever money on different wheels is an extra cost that isn't offset by any mpg gains even if you kept the car for ten years...
