18 vs 21 wheel set up weight difference
18 OE Audi wheels with Continental CrossContact LX25 255/55/18 tires
69.0 lbs
21 I dont think these are OE since I dont see any Audi markings with ATR Sport 295/35/21 tires
73.5 lbs
I got the 18 wheels for winter and my FL trips.

Wheel/tire weight are often very overlooked by owners. It's funny how people want a fuel efficient vehicle or worry about 0-60 performance only to put heavy, large diameter, junker aftermarket wheels on their vehicle. (Not saying your 21" wheels are junker wheels, these actually seem pretty reasonable.)
Tires will vary a lot weight-wise from brand to brand and model to model but interesting to see the comparison. 4.5lbs per corner is pretty significant. Wouldn't make too much of a difference on the highway but city driving, this is a lot of mass to be constantly accelerating/decelerating.
Hard to beat the look of larger rims though!
