A6 wheels. (and S6 wheels - specs and opinion)

[Grant Lenahan]

If Taka's had them in his hands that trumps the specs I was given - go  
with it.

==================================
Taka,
On to a related topic, since you seem to know a lot about wheel specs,  
I need some ...


I'm looking for lightish, strong wheels for my S6.  16 x 8 or 17 x 8,  
-35mm.

Do you know the weights -- or where I could go to look them up -- of:

OEM Avus 17 x 8 wheels?
OEM A6 4.2 16 x 8 5-spoke ('fat 5s")?
OEM 17 x 8 fat 5s?

Also, do you know any specs or experience based info on which ones are  
strongest and will resist the little out of rounds I'm getting far too  
many of?

Thanks,

Grant
