Anyone know what the 18" vRS alloys weigh?. Just pondering thoughts of changing to 19's but don't want to spoil the handling by getting something too heavy.

I don't know the answer, but I would be interested as well.

On my previous mk1 vRS I changed from the OEM wheels to 18" wheels I bought from ebay! The weight difference I would guess was about 2 or 3 kilos per wheel. It made a massive difference in the feel and handling...for the worse! However they looked great so I stuck with them!

So I'm on the hunt for some 19" lightweight wheels

easy,take a set of bathroom scales,go into your local........skoda dealer that is not the pub,ask to see the set you require and weigh one.Say mmmm,i`ll think for a while and walk out...sorted

You on drugs? :confused:

Not sure of the OE 18" wheel weights (either Zenith or B14) but guess they are around 13kg-15kg each (without tyre).

I do know that if you want a LIGHT wheel the best options are Team Dynamics Pro Race 2 or Pro Race 1.2 OR the fantastic OZ Racing Superturismo or Ultraleggera. Each of these wheels is in the range of being only 9kg to 12kg per wheel.

There is, however, a limited availability of the correct size (pcd/offset) manufactured for the Octavia, as I found out when researching which wheels to have on the vRS I've just ordered (OE or other). I plumped for the convenience of getting the dealer fit B14s in the end (18").

I can let you know at the weekend as I am planning to do a wheel rotation, will be including the tyre though

What about the 'air' inside too

When I changed from OEM alloys to Team Dynamics Pro Race 2s on my Furby I found that the OEM 205/45x16s with 5 mm of tread weighed the same as 205/40x17s with 8 mm of tread. So the new wheels were lighter, but not by a huge margin. At least they weren't heavier!

Well, I can warm it up if you like to make them lighter

Is that some form of gymnastics?
