Cup Speedline rims size and weight

[Trigger]

Hello mates,

I contacted my local dealer for the speed line cup rims, black to be used on LY R27

According to my dealer, size is 17x7.5 and weight is 6Kg each.

OEM gray rims which i currently have are 17x7.5 and 10Kg each.

I believe that 4Kg drop on each rim will make a massive positive response on first 3 gears!! Any ideas?

And I want to confirm the information which I got from them, are they really 17x7.5 with 6Kg each? As far I know, I read it somewhere but not sure, they should be 17x8 with 9Kg each!! Confirm please.

Would black look much better than white on LY? I'm more into black :rolleyes:

Does anyone got pictures for both?

The 7.5x17 Speedline is never ever gonna weigh 6 kg. Not in a thousand years. I seriously doubt it weighs any less then the OEM FF197 alloy at all. (10kg that is).

AFAIK they are 9kg.

the speedline cup is the same size of standard.. 17"x7.5.. wights is very similar or a little less of the standard but 6kg is a mistake! i think or 9.5 or 10kg!

I didn't believe that each rim will weight 6Kg either, I thought its 9Kg or above but for sure less than 10Kgs

I asked them to email me the spec print page, I will post here as soon I get it...

Regarding the size, I'm lost!! Have a look at this link:
http://www.renaultsport.co.uk/roadcars/cliocup/specification/technicaldata/Default.aspx

Speedline 8" x 17" one-piece aluminium/magnesium alloy wheels (From the above link)

Magnesium is very light!! The Q is, are those a new speedlines with same shape? or same old set from 197? hmm...

As far as I know there are ONE set of speedlines for the cup with 2 colors!!


Anyway, I can do something which is ordering the rims by my dealer and the qoute will have 17x7.5 with 6Kg each (According to them) and once they reach I can simply reject them as they don't match thier qoute!

Can anyone check with his dealer please?

I would be really happy if I can get them with 17x8 with 6 Kg!!

On the back of the wheel the stamped info has several numbers.
The standard wheels have an 'X' by 7.5J the magnesium ones have an 'X' by the 8J

Spinky has my old wheels so he will need to look on the back



You can see the metal inserts (rust) where the bolts go.

Powdercoated,
