if you compare the weight of a 17 in and 18 in alloy yeah the 18 will be heavier
but if you put tyres on them both then the 17 will be heavier
the rubber is the heaviest part of wheels, 17's require more rubber to keep the outer diameter of the wheel consistent to an 18, unless you lower the tyres profile, but then you have speedo inaccuracy issues
saying this, id still prefer 17's - and then get lower profile tyres for my second set when the stock ones wear out - maybe even get some 17's straight away when the car comes out with a lower profile side wall
edit: sorry for the double post
- few replies while i was typing my previous!
