Installed 15" Borbet H on '89 525 with 225/60 Continentals and was surprised by weight of tire wheel combo. Car felt different too.

Borbets weigh 26.5 lb each. What is weight of the bottlecaps?

Thanks shogun. Thou art truly a fount of knowledge. How the heck do you know so much?

Bottlecaps 18.2 lb. No wonder the Borbet H feels much heavier at 26.5. Feels heavy/different on the road too. One sure takeaway, only bottlecap with less than 1/2 tread tire in my spare tire well.

Most aftermarket cast wheels are always much heavier than OE wheels.
