How much do the 17" S4 wheels weigh?

I have a substantial system in my passat that weighs about 700 lbs, and need something to support the extra weight, and give me the look I want. The rear of my car is sagging about 2 or 2.5 inches right now, and the top of the tire is even with the lip on the wheel well. Does anyone know of...

Clay Thanks for your help in answering questions here in this forum. Tirerack is a superb site and resource for wheels on the internet. Question: does the weight of a wheel make that much of a difference in the performance of the car? I am looking for rims for my 99 V6 B5 right now, and...

anyone care to relate their thoughts on building a sub for our car, in particular, would you build with fiberglass (custom molded) or simple square-ish MDF? I thought weight would differ a lot between the two but a local install shop (that seems to have lots of high-end experience with FG...
