Any WEDs TC105N in Southbay?

Hey Guys,

I've been considering getting lighter wheels, and the WEDs are on the radar. Does anyone have 17x9e35 that I can come check out? I want to see the shape in person and all that jazz.

I know what you mean man. I have Rota Grids in bronze and they're all I want except for the weight. The WEDs are a nice value for the weight without being RPF1.

Yes, I understand - it was a joke.

Yeah, if you are trying to shave off seconds in autocross or at Thunderhill I think you'll notice the lower weight wheels. I like that you are going for something other than RPF1s.

I'm trying to get a better sense of pricing and what to expect, as I am looking for a set of rims too. These are more expensive than RPF1s right? Though, for the look, these are much better looking (to me)

Yup that's me! My friends and I go up 9 like 2-3 times every weekend. It's my favorite road in the area. Too bad they put a stoplight right in the middle and ruined the flow.

Nothing gets overblown on internet forums more than the impact of wheel weights. There's no way you are going to swap wheels and save seconds. A more accurate measurement is tenths or hundredths.

They seem to run about $1600+. So probably around 600 more than rpf1's

I have a gunmetal set coming in next month.

I thought they were a bit more 'special' than the RPF1's so I went that route. I live in the city but I'm in the South Bay sometimes (nowadays, not as often as before)
