hollow spooke rims vs

solid spokes, is it not a good idea to mix the rims on my car? got a cracked 11, on the inside of the rim, and it looks like some curb rash there as well...how did THAT happen?, anyway solids are in abundance here and hollows ain't...hmmmm, and one from the dealer is only 1643 euros, plus VAT,, oh those dealers, he says snidely ...wiplash

I'm going to throw out a completely random guess, and say that having two wheels with different weights on the same axle MAY cause issues with the differential. Messing with the circumference a tiny bit from front to back can apparently wreak havoc on these cars, so my hunch says that these diffs are pretty temperamental. I wouldn't try it unless an authority on the subject tells you that it will cause no problems. (and I don't mean someone who says "my cousin did it, and everything's fine.") Good luck.

Buddy you can buy a set of OZ Alleggerita for 1500 euros including VAT....they are stronger, much lighter and IMHO look much more badass than the OEM rims...

Most likely the "curb rash" is from a drive threw car wash. I would not miss match same axle.
