Went from 6 spoke 17's to OEM RS4's...

Performance-wise the ideal size would be 17" with a very light rim, but I liked the the look of the RS4's

I really can't tell any diff w/ weight (from OEM 6 spoke to OEM ALMS RS4 style). Not sluggish...
at all but this is without any warm condition hard driving since it is still winter...but they look better than I even thought they would.

i don't think you'll see a difference in accelleration, but in handling...
when i went from the 5-spoke OEM forged wheels to my 30lb-6-spoke OEM wheels for winter use, oh MAN was there a difference... the suspension just can't react as quickly. now, granted, i'd running softer snow tires, but still, they're V-rated snows.
i love the way the 18" RS4 wheels looks, too... but i think i'm going with the ASA AR1's. 22.5lbs each, and about the same price.
