Does the allroad has a 35mm offset?

IIRC, the Allroad rims are quite heavy. And I'm not sure what offset they have.

How 'bout the BBS in 17? That's the best bet.

Default Neither size get 18's. Best balance between looks and comfort

and if they are lightweight then that's a bonus. I'm thinking about getting some BBS Ch's.
