Ive currently got 17" audi s3 avus alloys on my fabia, but theyre so god damn heavy. Was looking at a set of 17" rs6 alloys, 5x100 so no adapters.

What sort of weight are the compared to my ten tonne avus', was wanting some lighter-weight wheels, and they look smart. But also i was after something that may clear brembos with a little spacer? If they do, if not i'll just buy 312's as i doubt i'll see much track action

Any thoughts?

Any 17" "rs6 style" wheels will be reps, so possibly just as heavy if not more so than your S3 wheels. I`v been running TD Pro race 3 wheels for the past 18 months, quite light wheels, but putting my S3 wheels back on and I`v not noticed them being massively heavier as I thought I would.

If your building a car to be as light as possible and to handle as well as possible then yeah I`d pick by weight but otherwise I`d just scout about for wheels I like the look of most.

So theres not a massively noticeable difference in running lighter wheels? I have no idea tbh but the current ones do weigh a substantial amount compared to my old 16" audi TT alloys

I noticed going from 16" wheels to the 17" S3 wheels quite a difference. But going between different types of 17" wheels, S3 avus/Octavia Spiders/TD Pro races I`v not noticed a huge difference, well not enough for me to choose which wheels I use just on weight.

I was planning to get the TDs refurbished and use them all summer and keep the S3 wheels for winter (as I`ve done this year). Now I`v put them on again, and prefer the looks I`m going to get them refurbished and use them all the time, just use the TDs for track purposes.

Sod it then i'll keep the s3's aha

Cheers for the advice buddy (y)
