Default They look nice, do you know the weight? If I put new wheels on my RS they have to be forged and
weigh less otherwise I'm happy with the look of the originals.

Default I like them, but...
I don't know about spending a lot on wheels that look just like stock with a lip.

Also, seeing that you drive in NYC a lot, I would be worried all the time about driving anywhere with any after market wheel on my car. Seeing how you would need 20's to make them look like your stock 19's they would be even more trouble in NYC.

Default I was thinking you would. But, that will make a big difference in terms of how they look on the...
car.

The ones in the pics are 20's.

Default Weight matters on the street - maybe even more so...
...because that's where most people drive the most. Five pounds per wheel can be felt on the street and will make a positive difference in acceleration, stopping, steering, and fuel economy. I always buy the lightest possible (forged) wheel I can find and never buy based upon looks alone.
