205 gti wheels - Saxperience

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...

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.

Really?

I had the total opposite experience.

I thought the smr's were stupidly heavy
