Hurdy, the Neuspeed RS10 wheels in silver are at $350 USD/corner right now (directly from the US)...
Size: 18 x 8.0 / Weight: 17.8 lbs. (just over 8kg)
http://www.neuspeed.com/products/product_details.asp?app=95|GV&type=24<ype=ns_euro&p_id=1905
However the black RS10s and pretty much every other Neuspeed forged 18" wheel are $549/corner.
I don't know why the price is so different.
They're not the most attractive wheel, but at $350/corner probably not many forged 18s come close price wise..

I found out recently that the size I wanted weighs 6.5kg and the Alleggerita's weigh 7.7kg, Volks weigh 7kg, so is it worth paying an extra £3k for 0.5kg a wheel?
Bear in mind I can get some bona fide carbon Recaro's for less than £3k :wink:

17's will be too heavy for you, Hurdy!
Get these on instead! These are also for Golf, and I can take TAROX off your hands, no problem! :happy2:

Hurdy i know that team dynamics can do custom bore wheels to suit the brakes, but you would need to know what clearance you need etc. Costs around £50 extra per wheel but atleast you can run 17's :happy2:

:wink: I'm ahead of you. I've been and had a look at a local dealers today and he's easily put the 17" Pro Races on with over 10mm to spare on the outer edge and 8mm on the face. :jumping: £440 gets me a full set of Pro Race 1.2's weighing 18lb and I've managed to find R888's in 225/45/17's for £560, so that would be spot on £1k for a set of trackday/qtr mile wheels that weigh less than my current set up by over 3lb a corner...Happy days :jumpmove:
