not neccesarily, i have 19 ld1 and they feel lighter (on the steering wheel) than the 16 stock, you should get 3 piece, can i also recommend another brand?? Get linea barlletta, they are awesome. They will be the same price as the ld1

You can't feel the weight of wheels "on the steering wheel". What you are referring to can be changed by adjusting air pressure, camber and toe-in. Plus tires are different - sidewall flex, contact patch, speed rating. It is your engine that "feels" the weight of the wheels (0-60 time would be a good indicator).

Vadim is right, my wheels weigh around 15 kg each according to web that Patronus give. My rim has small ofset so they must be toed in my wheel, that's why i feel lighter (am I right??)
