hey Der Kimbo....regarding your wheel designs.....
...have you considered offering a *forged* B7RS4 replica? I'm surprised no one has thought of this yet....I have yet to see a wheel on the RS4 that looks better than the OEM design. If it was available in a forged 1-piece version with the option of either silver or titanium finish, that could be a winner.

lighter and stronger, and also the option of different finishes.
in my case, I really like the titanium finish, and right now my only option would be to get the OEM titanium wheels. if i'm going to replace the wheels, I might as well get the design and finish I like AND get a lighter, stronger wheel to boot. we also could go WIDER.

I think 5 lbs/wheel weight reduction is possible.
the OEM wheel is 26.4 lbs. For comparison, one example of a forged, one-piece 19x8.5" wheel would be the BBS RGR, which weighs 21.2 lbs. so I think a 5lb/wheel reduction is definitely possible.
