My 19s are heavy. I think they were bout 10lbs heavier per wheel than my 18' classics.

I noticed a difference in performance when I switched from my 20lb 19" Champion Monolites back to the factory 29lb 18" BBS wheels...a performance loss, that is! I just ordered a set of DPE R06 Variant S wheels 18x8 & 18x10. These wheels weigh in at about 21lbs each. I hope to gain back what I lost in unsprung weight whith the BBS wheels.

The 19s looked just a tad too big for my liking, but boy they were light!

Mainly price. The DPEs are about 60% of the price of the Champions. The DPEs are two piece, forged aluminum T6 - 6016.

I ordered the wheels about 6 weeks ago, they should be here in time for the spring.

Only pics I could find of the R06 Variant S...
