Possible wheel replacement (Focal F15)

They look nice. How much do they weigh? I am pretty picky about finding lightweight wheels wherever possible. 

 

 

 

That should be about 2 lbs. less (???) than the factory 10-spoke wheel on the Titanium. Overall, an 8lb savings.

 

Think I will go with the Pirelli Cinturato P7 Grand Touring All-Season Plus LLR tire as well - as the stock Michelin energy saver tires are really bad. The Pirelli's are highly-rated on TR.

Wheel looks nice, those Michelin energy saver tires are bad.

I have the Contis on my Avalon Hybrid. MUCH better than the Michelins in ride, handling, snow, rain, etc. AND at least as good in the mileage department. They actually aren't terrible in the snow. The crispness of the turn-in when starting a turn is huge difference. It made the car a lot more sporty and I can't see any downsides so far. They seem to be wearing well. If they weren't marked LRR on the side I would have never believed it.

Which Continental tire did you choose?
