Default More money? Who cares if my current ones are more expensive... they're heavy as hell and the finish
... isn't brilliant enough. Quality is what's important, not exactly cost. I agree... they look great, and I'd miss the look. But the BBSs are gorgeous, are lighter, and are damn good (maybe better) quality.

And I'm not sure what I'd sell 'em for... $2k-ish? If not the CHs, maybe some forged multipiece ones.

Default Ic. is 26lbs considered heavy (ABT SP1)?
maybe you could get that CH 18" in speedware then. I just called Adam.

There is CH 19" on sale too in vwvortex about $2200 (if not wrong) with 5k mileage tires.

Default 26 lbs is sort of heavy, but not too bad. The stock forged five spokes on the TT weigh 21.5lbs.
Remember that tires in 18" can be VERY heavy.

Default No - tires are like 22-30 lbs (really). 19"s are heavy. 26lbs for 19" wheels is good.
And yeah, you ARE light, so that does compensate.

Default Can't go that early... MAYBE around 4:30-ish. I've seen the CHs there...
... which is why my interest is so piqued.
