They're much lighter than Mi16 wheels.

They're not actually steel, they're alloy, and they are the ones to have :)

The ones with flat bolt faces were recalled for cracking though - but I should think on a much-lighter-than-a-C5 BX they will be OK. Regular inspection is probably a good plan though.
