Yeah. Not sure if it is the color or the wheel. Maybe I should have painted them black or purchased silver wheels. Or gone with brushed HRE C93s. How much lighter do you think the Volks are in comparison to HRE C93s.

Thanks. I agree the C93s do look way better, but I am much more concerned about weight than looks. If they weigh only a pound more per corner I might get the HREs, but now more than 1 pound per corner more..
