Somewhere around 19 and 21 lbs, about the same for the same size BBS wheels. It was hidden deep inside one of the Rota threads, I'll probably never find it again.
Being an outsider, I'm picking up on some snobbery in those threads. People ask for test data on the new Rotas, where's the test data on the 20+ year old Fuchs to compare it to...... And the PCA's rule of only allowing T(umulat)V approved wheels....well, that's idiotic. It's like the German Porsche Club only allowing DOT approved wheels. Do people think that you can't buy cheap wheels in Germany and that all the after market items available are somehow up to FIA specs?
They're inexpensive, and they look good. Occasional track days, sure....but let's not get crazy on either side of the scale.
