205 gti wheels
wasn't really sure which section to put this in so sorry if it is wrong. 
basically, i want to know what the difference between speedline 205 wheels and non speedline, smr? not sure what they're called.
they look identical except for the 'speedline' stamp.
what is the weight of both?
and what is the value of 4 in decent condition with decent tyres? (speedline and non speedline)
thanks in advance

speedline /italy
other than that they are the same

I'll see if I can find scales big enough to weigh mine.

Car(s): Looking for a 205...
|
Never felt a speedline, but i'm sure my SMR's feel lighter than my VTR's despite being an inch bigger?
Maybe its my imagination but the SMR's definately feel easier when carrying/fitting them?
So guess the speedlines would be even better? That said i don't know how big the weight difference is...

Really?
I had the total opposite experience.
I thought the smr's were stupidly heavy

I noticed the weight difference between the two 1.9 rims whilst fitting them (Speedline's and SMR's) and the speedlines are definately lighter than SMR's. VTR rims are lighter than both the 1.9 wheels. Noticable when picking them up, accelerating and braking.
