Like you, the switch to Dymags was very noticeable. The switch from standard to forged in the AA4 is nowhere near as noticeable, but they do look a lot nicer. I think that standard wheels on the 4 are a lot lighter than the standards were certainly on the 2.

I ordered them, but are they only in black, or do I get a choice later on?
Good question. I'm sure you can probably get them in a different colour. I've seen some in gold but I think they were done aftermarket.

I'm going to swap at some point, whenever I swap to lighter wheels its noticeable difference on other cars, its never night and day or ground breaking though. It just feels a bit wrong to have heavier wheels on an Atom, so I will swap when I've freed up cash elsewhere

Hi, Has anyone upgraded to the forged wheels on an AA4 ? ....Is the improvement in handling on track noticeable ? or more theoretical due to less unsprung weight .
I see the weight loss is just under 10 kg for all 4 wheels . I was convinced there was an improvement with Dymags on my 3.5 ...but there the weight saving was more like 20kg.
All opinions /advice appreciated as I feel the need to pimp my ride now and the wait for aero is 4 months !
