i'll have it dyno'd at mile high and let you know what it puts out at the wheels. I dont know the weight compared to the hre's.

I uploaded the rest of the pics from the consignment dealer if you guys want to see it against white and the interior.

I lost nearly 40 lbs of unsprung weight going from the Techarts to the HREs. It changed the entire handling position of the car. It is much quicker in the turns and just feels tremendously more nimble.

I am a big believer, however, in sticking with a single tuner for your car. Since you have so much other Techart stuff, you may just want to stay with the Formula wheels.

Given that you don't have any other performance mods yet, I would just stay with the Techart. Once you dive in and get some mods, change the wheels then. Techart has stuck with the tried and true Formula design for so long that it may be due for a change. Ask around and see if they are going to do a monoblock option any time in the near future. I am good friends with Claus Ettensberger (of CEC fame). I will ask him tomorrow what he thinks and report back to you.

Good luck!
