Lupos 4x14 wheel weighted 4.6 kg and the 145/80R14 tire 4.8 kg so the total package is 9.4 kg measured with fish scale. I saw that kind of hubcaps on one A2 here in finland. Car did not have any badges so didint know that was also a 3L version. They were pretty neat looking pieces, but anyway I will propably still put my own capsels in the car.

Those 15" wheels were replacement wheels from cars. other was original VAG wheel 3.5x15 and the other was from toyota yaris 4x15. Yaris wheels center hole needed to milled 57.1mm.
