Default CupI:OEM vs MilleMiglia reps

Dear All,

just got offered a set of Mille Miglia cupI:s in good shape. Not sure If interested.
Does anyone know the exact weight difference between OEM:s and Mille Miglia? Also to me they look more "edged" and OEM:s more "round" along the spokes, am I right?

They don't look exactly the same but they are pretty close. I like the MM's because the offset is more aggressive and it really improves the look of the car IMO. Most of them are 9.5 in the rear too I think.

I can't remember the weight difference but I know it has been posted here a number of times.

I think your description is backwards, I believe the OEM has more pronounced spokes vs the softer look of the MM. Mine are 7.5 and 9" MM.

There is NO weight difference between the two wheels as long as you are comparing equal widths. The MM Fronts are 7.5" so they are lighter than the 8" but heavier than the 7" wide OEMs.

No, he is correct. OE wheels have more rounded edges. Lug nut holes are also closer to the centre cap edge on the MM wheels. Not that it makes much difference, they still look great.

I just had tires mounted on my new set of MM's last week.

7.5x17" Fronts were 21.4 lbs
9x17" Rears were 23.2 lbs

Not sure how this compares to the real ones.

Both of my rears had a bend in them btw (fixed at a local wheel shop). ALWAYS tell your tire guy to spin the wheels and check for bends BEFORE having new tires mounted. That would have saved me about $50 and avoided having the tires removed/mounted twice.

I still can't tell, good to know the weights are the same, I always thought I should have went OEM to save a few pounds, they seem really heavy.

The MM is slightly heavier but the difference is so small so it's eaten up depending on which tires you use. I have a set of both. My OEM rims with Toyo 888 are heavier than my MM with MPSC tires. Used my MM for track use and no issues.
