Anyone know if the Super Advan SA3RS rims lightweight or not? Pic below.

Advan Super Advan Racing SA3R Cast 17x8 23.5 10.7

Advan Super Advan Racing SA3R Cast 18x9.5 25.5 11.6

The last number is weight in kilos....

Dont think they're SA3Rs though... i think they're gen 2

Yeah sorry, i got confused... they look the same as my set but in black. According to Google, they're SA3R version 1

Gen 2's are sold new on nengun (http://www.nengun.com/yokohama-wheel-design/super-advan-racing-version-2)

Dont know if i'd call 10.7kg lightweight...

depends on what you consider to be lightweight? there is no strict definition of what is 'lightweight' and what is 'normal weight'. weigh them and then you can tell us if they're light or not. personally for a 17X9 inch wheel I'd say under 10kg is lightweight. under 8.5kg super light weight. over 10kg normal over 12kg heavy.

So true, thanks for that. i guess if they weigh around 10kg or so thats fine. They would be track wheels, so just dont want mega heavy ones like my street wheels are.

Thanks for the info fellas!!!!

ce28 = propper lightweight

richards post was a1!

Yes the Oh Wise Beer Baron came through with the goods there.

    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
