Like i said, in my experience, nobody seems bothered about weight when buying wheels and I have sold a fair few sets each month for the past 8 years! I know there are some out there who buy for performance but they wouldn't be buying replica wheels anyway. The point of a replica wheel is that its a more affordable version of a wheel that people buy because it looks OEM, not because the OEM version is light.
If you wanted light wheels there are loads out there lighter than 9kgs! For instance Team Dynamics Pro Race 2 (mentioned by someone earlier) are only around 7.5kgs for the 17"!
Not having a go or anything, just seems like nit-picking if you ask me......
Anyway, next week i'm putting 14" on the front and 19" on the back of my Mini so i'm always going downhill. Saves on fuel you see..........
