For interest sake, I weighed the Monaco Mirabeau wheel which I have mounted on the S80 at the moment. The car felt faster compared to the Canopus wheel, but I was wrong.
The Monaco wheel is a tad heavier, weighing about 20.88 kg.
Found a nice set on eBay Kleinanzeigen for my Volvo S80 2.4T Wasa Limited edition. They are black 19″ inch Monaco Mirabeau wheels, which fit the black Volvo great. Very happy with them 🙂
A small mod with big impact, replacing the old worn hubcaps with fresh new caps. I bought them cheap from eBay.
The old…
Old vs New
And the final result
Bought myself a “new” 14 inch set (thanks Marktplaats.nl 🙂 ) and fitted them off course. I weighed the wheels to see the difference, funny to see how there is quite a difference between de Uniroyal RainExpert 2 & Barum Brilliantis tyres.
The 14inch steel wheel + Goodyear Vector 4 Seasons tyres weighed less than expected.
14 inch wheel + Uniroyal RainExpert 2 tyre
14 inch wheel + Barum Brilliantis 2 tyre
14 inch steel wheel + Goodyear Vector 4 tyre
Result!
