    Silly on a street car. Better to save your money and buy a R8 V10.

    With tires: Fronts weigh 35 lbs (15.91kg) and rears are 47 lbs (21.36kg). I'll weight the stockers when I pull them off. There will be a bit of a variance, as the tires on the car now have about 5K on them.

    Everyone loves a hater. Makes my day! - and I appreciate the fact that you have an opinion. I will never put anyone down for their opinion, but I will poke fun at the negative ones!

    Life's short. Play hard, enjoy the hell out of yourself and keep a good, happy outlook on life.

    How about just buy a V10 when available? No need to save up for one.

    Rims are going on in a couple hours.

    Pix of the car w/the rims will be posted later today.

    We're talking about wheels here, not your mother.

    A little sensitive are we?

    Did you get these from Grizz? Is there a US distributor for these wheels?

    Congrats. Now put some on the RS6. :-)

    LOL!! Relax. I was having fun at your expense.

    No harm, no foul. I'll be the first to admit that I'm a smart ass and when it's handed to me on a silver platter, as you did with your posts, well I'll run with it and have one Hell of a good time doing so.

    Pix to be posted tomorrow morning.

    Look forwad to the pics. we have seen a similar combo here, if i remember correctly, but don't remember where.

    Good choice - I'm normally the pure OEM type of guy, but these wheels have something to them.

    and they go well with your "carbon fetish"

    I purchased the rims, wheels and TPMS setup from Wheel Enhancement. They're the US distributor for Dymag.

    From what I understand, Dymag has redone the center section of the rims (again?), thus the wait of about 4 months. I will keep a very close eye on them, though.
