I know the RS4 type is 27lbs cast, but I don't know the weight of the Ronal. Both being 18x8". Anyone know? Any votes for either?

Default If weight isn't an issue, I think I'm sold on the RS4 style from

achtuning.com they're having a special right now too. Maybe they should give me an extra discount for this plug. They are ~$1000 for the set.<ul><li><a href="http://www.achtuning.com/images/rs4lookwheels/index.htm">http://www.achtuning.com/images/rs4lookwheels/index.htm</a</li></ul>

I like the Lolas, the R-38 is a bit porky for my tastes.

They are ok. I thought you meant the OEM RS4 style. I hate those replica center caps.
