Send me a pic and I'll tell you what they're from. I'm not surprised of the 
weight difference, Fuch's are Forged, most OEM standard wheels are cast. 
Much like anything else, Forged metals are lighter and stronger than their 
cast counterparts. That's also part of the reason for the light wieght of 
the BBS V8/20V wheels. I think it's something like 8 lbs difference between 
the "aero" wheels and the BBS wheels.

Comparing the weight of these Fuchs wheels with the OEM Audi wheels off the
100CS is like night and day.  The OEM wheels are about twice the weight.

I think these likely came from an UR S4 or perhaps S6 car.

ET35 is the offset.  7X15
