Hi Brooner

From memory only ... and from about 2.5 years ago when I checked it all out before buying my RS4:

The standard spoke wheels were forged and lighter .. and allegedly stronger
The V Spoke and Rotor wheels were both cast and heavier.

I "think" it was about 1kg per wheel the diff ... but then maybe I think too much :biggrin3:

thanks for that not really worried about them bending as there seems to be no reports of that like of the RS6
so thanks for the clarification just another bit of info for my geek mind :biggrin3:
