I hate to say it, but I think (for the most part) what these wheels are about will be pretty much lost on the VW market. A good part of the VW hobby these days is cruising and hanging out and not so much about performance any more, so the benefits of a really lightweight wheel will only be appreciated by a select few. At the next VW show look at the number of cars with 4-6" narrowed front beams, lowered so far that they're seriously prematurely wearing the spade ends of the swing axles, and with roof racks and you'll see what I mean. It would be interesting to take a wheel to a show and see the response, though, as I could be totally off the mark.
And yeah, Carl, that's why I hunted down a set of real Fuchs alloys (after buying a set of cast copies). Dropping 4 1/2 lbs of unsprung weight a corner is a lot. I know I still owe you a pm...
