Speedline wheel weight?

[MattP]

As above - anyone know how much a speedline wheel weighs?

Also are the 8j cup racer ones a little heavier or basically the same?

Trying to compare them to Oz ultras...

 

[Beany]

The standard speedlines are around the 12kg mark?, the cup racers are slightly lighter around 9kg ish

+ would you put a 225 tyre on them?

 

[Big Ben]

Neither will come close to the OZ for weight

Yeah they’re made up of cast aluminium not steel even thought they’re 8j

You can run a 215 tyre if you soo wished

 

[Big Ben]

I’d run 225 on 8j

Cheers guys.

Splurged on some kw v3 today. Been considering it a while but track day just made me think go for it!!

Just need some summer wheel/tyres to compliment them.....

There’s been a post here today about wheel weights. Which I can’t find now of course.....

The weights you’ve quoted Beany are too heavy for Speedline and too light for Cup racer I’m positive.

From memory for Renault wheels:

Speedline nearly 11kg (?)
Cup racer (8j) 10-10.5 kg
200 Cup wheels 10.5 kg

***Team Dynamics Pro Race are a smidgeon over 8kg, and OZ’s can get you down to about 6.9kg I believe.

 

[Beany]

Did a quick search and found this... I stand corrected!

standard 11kg
cup 8x17 10.5kg
cup 7.5x17 10.5kg
standard 200 10.5kg
turini 7x17 8.3

 

[MattP]

Neither will come close to the OZ for weight

But the 8j would be a significant improvement on the 7.5 no?

Proper going for it then

Well, I read a lot over the last week and couldn’t find anything negative about the kws so.......

Then at Bedford all you coilover boys kept driving off into the distance so....

 

[MattP]

So in conclusion the oz are a lot lighter!

But 8js would be a lot cheaper!

OZ will be lighter and a nice alloy however expensive!

The speedlines do look nice and give the oem / racer feel

I took a screenshot of the post a while back so I could always find it!

Which rims are you talking about when you say "Speedlines"? To my knowledge none of the rims are actually called like that as Speedline is a manufacturer and not the designation for a type/version.
