Almost the final piece on my modding list, a set of 18" OZ Alleggeritas. Had the wheels fitted yesterday and filled with nitrogen. To sum up the difference it has made to the car in one word: AMAZING
First lets get the weight saving figures up!
Audi OEM with tyre: 21.9kg
Audi OEM without tyre: 12kg
OZ with tyre: 18.4kg
OZ without tyre: 8.1kg
Weight saving per wheel: 3.5kg
Total weight saving off car: 14kg
This may not sound a lot but its off the unsprung weight so you can really feel the difference.
The car itself feels lighter and more nimble. The steering is sharper and more responsive. The ride feels much more certain through the corners, much more stable. Acceleration and breaking are improved, only slightly though.
I was very excited about having light weight wheels on my car, the difference is truly amazing. It has really improved the handling and feeling of the car, you feel much more involved!
Here are some pics, i apologise as the car is a little dirty but you get the idea!
