OEM FSport 18 wheel weight
Just wanted to share a couple of pics of the OEM FSport 18x7.5 wheel and tire combo weight
Although currently mounted with slightly larger width 245 55 18 tires, it might be a couple pounds heavier than the stock 225 60 18
In comparison, my oem forged 19x9 Audi wheels with 265 35 19 are exactly 10lbs lighter
...thats a significant difference that youll be able to feel when driving.
NX200T FSport 18
Forged 19x9 Audi wheel
Although its weighed on a bathroom scale, you get the idea.
So if anyone is considering a wheel upgrade, perhaps not a bad idea to invest in something lighter to save fuel costs going forward?...

Yes, fewer unsprung weight the better. Lighter wheels not only save gas, they also improve handling and off the line acceleration.
Audi one is forged so you know why they're more expensive
