Hi,

as far as I know there were two different styles of OEM wheel offered on the iMiev:
a spoked design on earlier cars, same as on the ICE 'i' car, and the 'three hole' design fitted to later cars.

Which ones are lighter, please?

:)
 
Just to clarify, it's these two styles of wheel I mean:

The top one looks like aluminum alloy spoked wheels (better looking to me), i would think the weight difference would be very small, but i've not measured. Were any i-mievs delivered with the spoked alloys or just the ICE cars.

In Japan and Europe the first iMievs had the spoked wheels, and the Peugeot and Citroen versions seem to have them still.
I am sure any weight difference is only small...
