[Euro]stock wheels weight

[Accord Basic]

would you explain why heavier wheels work better on dyno? Thanks

I think it is cause there is more momentum once the wheels are in motion and they take longer to slowdown.
I might be wrong but light or heavy if the difference is couple of kgs diff then it plays a slight part, where as if its only 1kg diff then prob not much.

I think so, I got 18" Enkei RP03 and it will slow down my car compare to the stock 16" rims. I didn't weight it, but when I lift both, the 18" + tyres are heavier. not much, about 2 - 3 kg. i think

2-3kg may not sound like much, but it will make a fair difference in rotational mass and unsprung weight.

Yes thats correct, another thing to note is also the weight distribution, even if 2 wheels weight the same, if a wheel has more mass on the outer diameter if it affect performance more than a wheel with more of its weight closer to the center of rotation.

just wondering if anyone knows the weight of the stock wheels (18" lux model wheels) on the CU2?

Cheers.

i think they are on the 11-12kg mark
