so i'll defer to you for actual knowledge. (i would think that light wheels would be ideal for rally like they are for tarmac. less unsprung weight makes the suspension work better and all that.) maybe i just need to head up to MI one weekend and watch the festivities.

what i do know for sure is that they look fantastic.
Thanks. I think I agree.

Yes, lighter is always better but only as light as you can get away with. These are NOT designed for stage rally but I know of at least one big Volvo running these in Scandinavia, even though the factory cringes whenever you mention it LOL. BRAIDs are well designed and well built wheels and the factory are quite conservative so sometimes we can get away with things we are not supposed to. Plus, I drive like an old grandma anyway.
