But when you consider the pro race weights around 2kg they are heavy.

Oh and have you seen the standard wheel?? The standard wheel should never be compared to a aftermarket wheel.

Christ the standard wheel is almost a solid bit of alloy.

A Pro Race 1.2 15" is 6.2kgs, I am 99% sure that TH mono's are heavier, Pro Races made a world of difference to the Octavia.

Yeah I know  :grin:

But 2kg of unsprung weight is about 8/10kg of chassis weight.

People think its only copy of kg and isn't a lot but it is!

Well my 18" Pro Races were 9.2 kg each against the BBS CH reps that were 13.9kg each  :shocked:
