Default Well I hope he gets the "forged version" of those wheels because the regular ones are anchors!

BTW, do you know the weight per wheel of the new "forged version"?

At $64.5K when new 2008's are going for $62K, it just does not make sense

Default A much more affordable alternative will be available in less than a year.

VF engineering has a SC working on a 4.2 S4 that is being driven around by AWE. They are installing one on another car in CA for Jeff Moss to work on. He believes they should have units ready to be installed in the S4 within 6 months, and also said it will work in the RS4 with minor modifications. I suspect we will see something for our cars in about a year.

Default Yeah right! I don't know if I should cry or laugh. The problem is these guys ask for customers to...

Use their own cars to develop and test their systems.

At least MTM bought an RS4 and developed it for 30,000 + KMS before releasing it to the public.

In any case if someone wants to pay the MTM price for their kit, all the powers to them.

Well if they can't get a 19 inch wheel close to 19 lbs, they are worthless IMHO.
