crazy to think how heavy the stock wheels are on an rs model

[adamRS]

thanks for posting this! any more shots of this setup, and are you reusing the stock pirellis?

Yup! But they're good, strong wheels. And I'm sure they're made more to withstand potholes and other daily driving habits that not a lot of people are careful about.

In comparison, the 18"x9, ET45 RSE10 are listed as 19.75lbs. That's an almost 10lb drop! I'm going to see if I can weigh my set with tires before I mount them.

I wish they were forged...I don’t understand how M models for BMWs get great whee and tire options and Audi sticks RS models with shit wheels, tires, and brakes....

The 19" wheels on my RS5 were forged, but the 20" option was cast. I was hoping the stock RS3 wheels would also be forged. I am looking forward to getting some lighter wheels in the near future. Anyone running the RSE10 staggered?

I think the S3 had an option for forged wheels, that was one of the first things I upgraded was to an aftermarket wheel

A local RS3 is running staggered RSe10. Don’t have pics though. Met him at Cars and Coffee on Sunday

thanks for the wheel weights now when tires wear out it's a simple tire and rim package from tire rack!

I am using the stock tires for now. I’ll post more pictures when I get a chance. Probably this weekend.

I am running a staggered set for stock class AutoX. I have 18x8.5 with 265/35R18 FR and 18x8.0 with 235/40R18 R. I weighed them and got 47lbs for the fronts (Stock Rotors 52lbs) and 44lbs for the rears (Stock rotors 51lbs). All told about a 25lb drop. I will be driving on them for the first time on Saturday and racing on Sunday.

Got any pics of 18s? Also why stay with 235 in rear instead of 245 to stay similar to stock stagger?

No pics yet, I might put them on the car tonight. The weather seems to finally be good enough to take the winters off. I went with these sizes to keep the overall heights as close to the same as possible. The 265s I'm using have some wear on them already, as they came off my STI. That would have created a bigger difference in height than the stock 0.4" variance. If I have no issues running this I might get 245s in the rear next year. My GTR was setup as pretty tail happy, so I do like that style of handling for racing anyways. I'll give my impressions of it on Monday with some pics as well.

Here is my racing wheel and tire fitment. I have some 5mm spacers and black bolts coming from Neuspeed in the next week. They will still be legal for SCCA



Got out to the first Autox on Sunday. Ended up 3rd in Raw and Pax out of 40+. The car did well, has nice turn in. Surprisingly there wasn't much oversteer like I was expecting with the 30mm stagger I have.

Looks meaty. 18s that clear prob have better ride too.
