These wheels look a lot better in the graphite silver!

How are you likin the continental DW's?

Too early to have a good idea but cornering has improved over stock. I can't wait to try them in the rain, I heard it was really good. A bit noisier on the road and you can feel it more also. Overall very satisfied for now. Just got them for two days. Will review it after more mileage.

Great! looking forward to your thoughts on them after some more miles.

Given the looks / weight / price these wheels are very good!

Very nice!!! Photoshoot here we are!!! I don't have time this week, but let me check for next week ;)

These wheels look very nice IMO. Affordable, as well.

Just got these for my winter wheel setup. Pics in my journal.

Nice combo, I would like to do the same,

Could you please post more pictures?

What about the weight?

Sorry Teo for the late response, I haven't been on this forum for months. The weight saving is around one pound on each wheel overall. No real difference. I've been using these wheels on a track and they handle above expectation and not much wear. I will try to take more pictures soon.

Thanks!

In the meantime I ordered the Alleggerita matt-black, can't wait to put it on

I don't know the reason, but here in IT OZ sell Sparco assetto gara only 17"x7 ET38
