The last number is weight in kilos....

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

So the ones in my pic are the GEN 2 ones then???

I saw one of your old posts selling some similar ones, was going to send you a PM anyway! Thanks for your help.

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!!!!
