[Euro]stock wheels weight

[Username]

hey...

does anybody know the stock wheels weight for the accord euro?

thanks,

[baboo]

roughly 9kg without tyres.

And just under 18kg with tyres.

[yfin]

yfin whats the weight of your setup?
Around 15kg per corner

[aaronng]

Damn the stockies are heavy......

[baboo]

unsprung weight is quite important actually.

I remember if you reduce unsprung weight by 1kg is equal to reduce 5kg above the suspension.

It improves handling a lot. Also lighter wheels means slightly faster acceleration. Not by much though. hehe

ok.... heres a newbi question....


will lighter wheels result in more kw at the wheels.... not just less overal weight...:confused: You can not change any hp or torque by changing wheels or flywheel if you may. It justs makes it much more easy to accelerate. You will loose inertia though but the gains you get are more worth while.

Isn't the question power at the wheels? If the wheels are lighter and accelerate easier - the dyno would show more power right?

No, Where is the extra power going to come from? Just better response.
It would be nice though.......:)

Taken from Integra section Toda Lightened Fly Wheel For DC2R???

As everyone has said... YES YES YES YES YES YES
Seriously though, this is one of the most cost effective bang for your bucks upgrades you can do on a DC2R.
The difference is sharper acceleration in 1st, 2nd & 3rd, improved engine response & better engine braking...
On the track, this translates directly into reduced lap times.
All this, with no actual power gain or compromise to reliability.
Just more effective use of what you've already got.
Works well with either an OEM clutch or heavy duty item...
The H/D clutch obviously is more fun...
PM, call or email me for pricing
Cheers

Check out this thread - seems like lighter wheels will improve dyno readings.

Cool!

Where does the power come from?

[yfin]

Cool!

Where does the power come from?My guess is less unsprung weight at the wheels = wheels spin faster for less effort/energy = higher peak power reading.

If you compare a Euro with fat and heavy 19" chromies and a stock Euro with 16"- there will be less power converted to the wheels for the 19" car. It seems sensible to me.

still unsure..... but who cares? :p

Lighter is always better in my books!

[johnprocter]

what are some good lightweight tyres to go with some lightweight wheels anyone recommend any?

edit: ah this should be in the euro section

[aaronng]

Moved. Ray's CE28N and RE30 rims are cheap.

[johnprocter]

i ment can you recommend some light weight tyres :P not rims/wheels

[r-r-redEuro]

what about the volk te37's are they lightweights? because im planning on getting them with some continental tyres.
