Genrally heavier and not constructed as well as OEM alloys.

Plus you will lose more as s/h reps are all but worthless, whereas the VZ's will hold there money well.

I have a set of BBS VZ033s. I'd run the Audi S-Line 14 spokes before (Audi's version of the Pescara)

Wider track = better handling, better stance
Lower weight (10.5 kg vs. 12kg each) = quicker and better fuel economy

Just don't go for the titanium finish because it's not very good. I've got a few imperfections in mine and Rob went though A LOT of effort to get me the most perfect set in the UK
