Was up at Fearnsport yesterday, I *believe* Robs (Kurgans) car to be sold. Don't know to whom or where or course, but his new Flymo did come up in conversation! With a smile!

Those wheels are Carbon Fibre
same as used on a Konissegg ( or whatever you call it ! )
I was the guinea pig for Dymag Wheels and remember when they gave me 2 sets to break about 2 years ago


It was at Brands on a trackday and going into Paddock on "Plastic Wheels" certainly focuses the mind !

They are light about 7kilos each and saves about 80kilos unsprung weight for all 4

they look great on the car

80kg unsprung saving must be a huge benefit,,,,,,how does that work? standard front GT3 wheels are approx 12.5kg and rears 13.5kg without tyres.

The formula is something like each kilo saved around the wheel/brake area is unsprung mass so a saving of 4or 5 kilos per wheel then times X4 which is 20 kilos per corner and 80 kilos overall

the picture is the one on my profile

Think it's the equivalent of 80kg weight from within the car.

They normally say the removal of 1kg from unsprung weight equates to 6kgs from within the car.

Edited to add:

From Dymag web site:

"Carbon Magnesium Car Wheel - Summary

The performance gain achieved by reducing the wheel mass (Un-sprung Mass) can be quantified using a factor of six. This means that to achieve the same performance gain by reducing the body mass, it is necessary to remove six times the wheel weight saving.

Example
A saving of 2Kg Per Wheel x 4 Wheels = Removing 48 Kg from the Bodywork.


In some instances, Dymag’s Carbon Mag wheels have reduced the wheel weight by up to 5Kg / Wheel, which equates to saving 120Kg from the bodywork to get the same performance advantage."
