Have you tried Compomotive? Demon Tweeks sell them.

Cool thanks, are lightweight alloys like getting a lightened flywheel, less effort required to spin them?

30th June 2004, 03:37

yeah pretty mutch on the same theory then . . . . . just

mean's you can shift abit quicker if you know what i mean

30th June 2004, 03:43

Yeah, does this mean ill be getting away from the lights that little bit quicker?

speedline wheels are light weight as are OZ superleggras.

The difference may not be entirely noticeable but it will make a difference

i didnt know superleggras were lightweight.

30th June 2004, 17:03

extremely light weight!

superleggras are very nice aswell as lightweight but i think u wud have to get them powdercoated white as i dont think OZ do them in white

dont suppose anybody knows how much weight loss ill get from mk1 vts alloys to 15" superleggras

1st July 2004, 04:38

umm i think i read sumwhere that superleggeras (without tyres) were 4.5kg each??? actually that seems unrealistic... but the VTR alloys or ur mk1VTS alloys weigh 18kg with tyres on so fairly big diff....

Jonno

1st July 2004, 04:52

is that 18kg per wheel with tyre, if no thats not much difference at all.

1st July 2004, 04:59

i sont no how much a tyre weighs lol..... but its 18kg each with tyres for ur VTR wheels

Jonno

bear in mind i the old super T's were far from light and i think its the same casse with the new ones, would tell you on OZ's website

1st July 2004, 05:08

id say at least 40kg loss,all told.Slimfast

1st July 2004, 05:10

using superleggeras not superturismo's

Jonno

weird, the 106gti and saxo vts have 15kg in the difference and theres one complete second in the difference for their 0-60 times.

1st July 2004, 05:36

lol there has been mass debates about this like the 106 was loaded with more people etc... etc... i basically feel it was probably a marketing ploy by peugeot to get it in a lower insurance group, they are both as rapid as each other in my books

1st July 2004, 05:45

could be, i hear the gti's are better in crashs so maybe they do weigh that bit more. Volkswagen do the same with their gti golfs and tdi's. What i was hinting at was if you can get a second slashed off your time by 15kg then what would you get for 40kg from changing to superleggras!? and im getting a full carbon bonnet too

1st July 2004, 18:56

i am getting some 15's in white! they are compamotive they are a magnesium alloy!! proper light weight!!! should have them on by sunday!!!!

2nd July 2004, 00:14

cool, can you find out what they weigh when you get them please.
