I replaced my lobsters with 19" TechArts yesterday. They look fantastic. I'll post pics tomorrow.

However, the car feels completely different. You can really feel the weight difference. I thought small weight differences would only show up on the track.

My car is significantly slower. Plus I am not mistaken nor exaggerating. The cars performance is more important to me than the looks. Can somebody post the exact weight of the TA's and the Lobsters and the Kinesis? I know its somewhere on 6speed but the search function is buggy.

THANKS.

BTW- Thanks to Arling for setting me up. Lucent is simply great.

 

I have the Techart 20" in black and they are real anchors, though beautiful. If they didn't looks so good, I would've ditched them long ago. It is the most frequent compliment I get on the car. Black Techart's combine well with GT Silver.

I had to do things over, I would not purchase the Techart anchors again. The Kinesis F110's are very tempting.

And yes, it is a refreshing change when dealing with someone like Arling at Lucent. Arling is the best.

 

The TechArt wheels cewrtainly look good but come with a weight penalty. I still love their simple lines.

Post pictures asap.

 

Here's what the Sharkster posted on another thread about the F110's.....

Pictures please...

 

Seroiously though...

Am I imagining things?...

Or has my car become a lot slower and a lot less nimble. How much do these suckers weigh? I am considering getting rid of them.

DJ- Can you put an anchor next to my lemon?

 

i really thought those were heavy

 

Well if you're getting rid of them, lemme know.

 

Wheel weights 18"s in KG's.

 

According to the chart the TechArt Formulas, in 18x8.5, are five pounds a corner lighter than the RUF's of the same size, within a pound of the BBS and Fikse's, and lighter than about ten of the wheels in 18x8. That's not bad at all. I'd have to say you are imagining the weight difference, and reports of them being anchors are greatly exaggerated. The Volks though, of course, are light and sweet . . .

 

Oh, unsprung weight is a H U G E diff. Those TechArts are 35+lbs w/o tires...those things are going to slow anything down, and you will most definitely will feel the difference!

 

I'm in the UK and when I was purchasing my Techart 19" I looked into this thorough, The Techart worked out a kind of happy medium when it came to the weight issue. I looked at weight, looks, resilience and found the Techart to be my choice . I had my eye on another set but the weight was rediculous!

 

wrong number. u're talking about the Techart 22'' for Cayenne. i'm 100% positive on this.
