The original 15" wheels were 7 kg.
In 2006-2009 I had been running 10.2 kg 17" wheels.
Since early 2009 I h've been running 7.5 kg wheels - which became the winter wheels after summer 2010.
Since August 2010, I've been running heavy (10.9 kg !) 16" wheels on Hägar in summer.
While the extra weight can be felt in the steering (even despite power steering), there are no signs of drastically increased brake wear - pads and disks have done 192.000 km.
