ordering mines soon but have a question first: being lighter does that make them more susceptible to damages form the likes of potholes ectt..?

They are nice wheels, no doubt about that. But the price for them is too steep for my wallet.

I ordered them from Germany and they cost half of the price than here in Finland

The wheels cost a fortune in Finland

Looking very nice, you need tints to round out the look.

Wheels look perfect. I'm thinking about getting a set for next winter. Could you Juke PM where you got them?

They are indeed pretty fragile. On one of my set, a small piece of the layer of varnish is gone, probably owing to some road-material.

thanks to all, i think the price is indeed a bit steep - if anything i ll be going with Forgestars F14 -

Wheels are made by Breyton, a German manufacturer, so I doubt if being lighter makes these wheels susceptible to a greater risk because they are lighter. The wheels weigh about 17 pounds each. I don't know what the original OEM Potenza tires weigh, but I do know the M wheels with tires weigh 50 pounds (rear) and 53 pounds (front)... a big difference!

The wheels are available online at the Tire Rack.
