Re they really that much lighter than stock? Dembo has them and didnt seem to be convinced.
I think they're something like 15lbs instead of 19lbs (for standard 16s). Good, but not mega-light.
Rota Torques aren't staggered, and P1s only come in 18s. Can't say I'm a fan of the Slipstreams, but they do seem to be about the only choice without going into 4 figure sums (correct me if I'm wrong).

Stock 16" Rear: 18.6
BBS 16" Front: 13.3
BBS 16" Rear: 14.3
That is a good saving on unsprung weight.

Or 16" JDM BBS.
Oh no, you cannot have correctly-dimensioned wheels. They've got to be at least 19" or everyone will think you have a small wallet or willy or something.

How do I upload photos here? I was after something like the Ultralite Nubering but some suppliers say they'll fit and others say they won't. Trouble is I can't find someone who'll supply and fit them to remove the risk of non-fitment.
