    You are probably right. Except RCs are quite a bit lighter are they not? But I guess the difference would be marginal.
    He never mentioned weight as a main concern, which I can see why since these are for his DD. However, RC's do weigh considerably less than RX's.
    I think he meant the lighter weight of the wheels may effect the ride.

        Weight of one BBS RC with tire, is almost the same as a BBS 15 with tire :D

          Well... if someone wants to spend at least a grand on lighter wheels just for a negligible ride difference (on a DD no less) then... ok.

                  Considering 4x100 16" RC's are unobtanium, I dont think the thread title has much relevance.

                    That said, the thread starter did not know that and hence made the better ride quality reference. ;)

                              16" 4x100 is just as good.

                              Especially when they're the real thing and refinished.

                              :P
