Default I'm just going off of memory of an ad I saw in one of the car mags...

But I think it was something in the $400 range for 14lbs. (for a 17"?) I could be wrong though.

Default Light....

19" wheels (RPM, 6 spoke) for an Audi TT weigh less than 14 lbs....

That's about half of some of the popular 18" wheels.

The 18" wheels weigh even less.<ul><li><a href="http://www.centerlinewheels.com/w_catalog/features.html">http://www.centerlinewheels.com/w_catalog/features.html</a</li></ul>

Wow! That's really light. I wonder how they'd hold up on a heavy car like the S4.

If they're really forged, they should be stronger than a cast wheel

Default they don't list bolt pattern? also why FWD only?

are they jsut asumming FWD is lighter? These lok REALLY light, and despite bing forged, i'd worry about their strength unless people have used these before on heavy sedans...
