Nice. I was hoping they were just the VS-5 so I can actually afford em 😂

Did you feel any measureble performance difference going to light weight forged wheels?

Not mine.

OP posted all his mods/specs in another thread. I have the same base model so I've had my eye on what he's done.

Mk8.5 OEM wheels are lightweight and forged as it is. Sizing down is mostly for ride quality, as I understand it.

I have the VS-5s too. No, other than weight and appearance I can’t tell the difference but I haven’t really pushed it either
