How heavy are the RSE11s?  I've been rubbing my thighs over Neuspeed wheels for a while now.

Awesome only put an international order in once a month apparently, so an alternative importer would be good.

Sorry - didn't notice the last couple of replies!

The 18x8 is 9.75kg

I ended up ordering through Awesome. They reckon they'll be placing an order with Neuspeed on Tuesday and I should have the wheels a couple of weeks later. I can hold out till then

Ordered the silver ones but still scratching my head whether the satin gun metallic would look better!

These look the business! Any rubbing when going over speedbumps with those?

Yeah very nice  :happy2:  Not too heavy either!  I reckon the Pesceras must be getting on for 12kg, so a handy weight reduction!

Thanks guys! I'm very pleased - very happy with the way they look, and also that it's something a bit different to the more usual choices to clear big brakes.

They're ET45 so I get no rubbing at all. The BBS wheels were ET47, but then with the 12mm spacer needed to clear the Brembos, effective offset became ET35.

Ha yeah - the wheels accept OEM centre caps, so I'm waiting for some black and silver VW ones I ordered to arrive. Annoying they haven't arrived already.

It'll be nice to drive the car properly- have had to drive carefully, looking at the road for potholes and bumps so the arches wouldn't get destroyed!
