Thanks for the weights! Now for some more analysis...

V810
18x8.5 ET45 ... 20.4lbs
18x9.5 ET45 ... 21.0lbs
18x9.5 ET58 ... 21.0lbs

19x8.5 ET45 ... 22.0lbs
19x9.5 ET40 ... 23.0lbs
19x9.5 ET58 ... 22.4lbs


V803
18x8.5 ET38 ... 20.4lbs (predicted offset/weight)
18x9.5 ET57 ... 20.8lbs (predicted offset/weight)

19x8.5 ET35 ... 21.8lbs / 9.88kg (weight confirmed)
19x9.5 ET45 ... 23.4lbs / 10.6kg (weight confirmed)
19x9.5 ET57 ... 22.8lbs / 10.3kg (weight confirmed)


In 19x8.5, the V803 ET35 is 0.2lbs lighter than the V810 ET45, so the V803 has an effective weight saving of 0.53lbs over a fictitious V810 ET35 (due to a 0.33lbs saving due to the mounting pad being 10mm less than a V810 ET45) - or a V803 19x8.5 ET45 may have weighed 21.3lbs (10mm at 0.05lbs/mm).

Why is the V803 19x9.5 ET45 0.6lbs heavier than the 22.8 lbs pre-release weight? (The originally stated V803 ET40 offset was later corrected above as being ET45).

The 19x9.5 ET57 is 0.6lbs heavier than I originally estimated and 0.4lbs heavier than the equivalent V803 ET58.

You were indicating the V803 was targeting lower weights than the equivalent V810, which seems to be the case for the 19x8.5 wheel. Why didn't this occur for the 19x9.5" wheels?

If this weight gain trend continues on the V803 18" wheels then it seems my originally predicted weights for the 18" wheels will no longer be the case and, instead, they will be ~0.5lbs heavier than the V810 Please tell me I'm wrong (and that the 18" V803 will be sub-20lbs).

The V810 19x9.5 ET40 and ET58 have a difference in weights - 0.6lbs for 18mm offset difference, or 0.033lbs/mm of offset.

The V803 19x9.5 ET45 and ET57 have a difference in weights - 0.6lbs for 12mm offset difference, or 0.05lbs/mm of offset.
