While the MINI PR material refers to them as "light alloy", they're not that light... approx. 22 to 23 lbs. each wheel.

You can do better with aftermarket.

on the subject of light

13.45lbs - better than Enkei RPF1 or OZ Racing wheels

Whilst i came accross this through the Tyre guy and can only make sense of the numbers, its a good weight

stock wheels are just 23.1lbs so swapping over to these saves 38.6lbs.
