I would have a set for daily driving, and one for the track. They look good, and are uber light, so having different tire setups equals a win win opportunity.

I agree with what others have said, they're my favorite wheel for the 4 lug 914s (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) |

I agree with what others have said, they're my favorite wheel for the 4 lug 914s (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) Fuchs are forged, so I would assume that they are lighter than the cast Mahles. I have never had any Fuchs to compare. Even if I did, I would still run the Mahles for the looks. However, since I am converting to 5 lugs in the not so distant future, I will be parting with them.
