📓 Journals Papadop88's Emira, Chapman Launch Edition

[papadop88]

Wheels just came in yesterday, couple days ahead of schedule. Kudos to John at BSPK. Wheels look fantastic and exactly what I was looking for. They seemed light right out the box so I weighed them. I still have the stock ones on the car so I can't weigh those yet, but will for comparison when I swap them.

BSPK Front: 22.5lbs (I weighed them a few times and even used another scale to compare. All readings came in between 22.4 and 22.7 lbs)
BSPK Rear: 23.6lbs (Same as the fronts, all readings came in between 23.2 and 23.8 lbs)

A quick google search has the Emira OEM's at:

OEM Wheel Specifications & Weights

• • Front Wheel (20x8.5 ET57): 25.35 lbs (11.5 kg)
  • Rear Wheel (20x10.5 ET54): 29.76 lbs (13.5 kg)

Not sure if there are any weight diferences between the OEM rim styles i.e. Diamond Cut vs Black/ Silver, but I suspect that the weight variations, if any, are not that significant.

Your new BSPKs should however collectively save you some 17-18 lbs which imo is a good weight savings, particularly being unsprung.

Sounds about right. That should be a huge unsprung weight savings. I also ordered the titanium lug nuts from Greg at GRP because they look great, I hate having wheel locks, and to squeeze out even more weight savings.
