Default soft. I have 16" AT Italia S5 wheels (same as your pic) as my winters with Dunlop Winter Sport M2s.

I've heard of people bending them easily, but I don't drive hard into potholes, train tracks, so I haven't had any problems. Others in the SE PA area have them as well for winters, such as Andy Hedin on his S4 Avant.

I think they're in the 23-25 lb. range, but that was on a bathroom scale with the tires on it and I subtracted what Luke @ TireRack told me that tire weighed. Is James R. reading this?

With my Sport suspension... look at that gap!

Default and as you can see, the stock center caps fit by removing the retaining ring to replace the fugly

AT ones.

In Europe, wheels with this exact same design were an option.

That's one of the reasons I'm interested in them.
