They'll be similar to a Santiago or Brescia, but they are wider than both those wheels (8J vs 7.5J). I think the Golf R Prets are approx 10kg each. Say 12.5kg - 10kg = 2.5kg per wheel × 4.Roughly 25% heavier.

They're cast rather than flow formed, so there will be about 10kg additional weight, but the savings over the Golf R version make them quite tempting. I'd also expect them to be a little more robust than the Golf version too.I previously ran the same spec BBS CI-R's (8J ET45) and found no issues with the stretched tyres (225/35R19), however I do prefer the look of the normal tyres over stretched. Surely they'd be a similar weight to the Santiago or Brescia options at around 12-13kg an alloy? Especially for those that would normally go toward the replica route that just want greater durability.They'll be similar to a Santiago or Brescia, but they are wider than both those wheels (8J vs 7.5J).

This website is very helpful for finding out wheel specs and weights ;https://www.original-felgen.com/19zoll/
