How heavy are Borbets compared to standard BBS?

And mine were 16x9's so probably weighed a little more! She does drive differently now (unsurprisingly) much lighter on her feet.. Not to mention the fact she's stopped trying to scrape her sump off at every opportunity! Just need to do the top mounts now.. One of them definitely feels clicky, it's all fun and games! :)

I put those mint front ones on today too winkeye

she is looking OEM fresh! and, amusingly, seems to get more attention than she ever did with the ol' 16x9's on her.. :D

just need to freshen up under the bonnet in the spring, but first I have all the rear bushes to do over the next couple of weeks.. and a radiator to source.. (flushed mine out today and it appears that the top hose entry pipe on the rad has come away inside the hose... bugger! plastic FTW!)
