Tecnico vs 5-hole

They're both round (brand new). Go for the one you like better. You're not going to feel 12 lbs total weight difference. You'll get better performance telling your g/f to "find her own way there". :D

I was in a similar situation as you, but I didn't take the wheels into consideration at all. But if I were to consider it now, I would think of it like this: The Giulia / Stelvio are probably the ONLY cars those 5-hole wheels would actually work on.

Anyhow, @Belleza, what are your thoughts of the new LED headlights and the digital cluster on the MY24? Those two things were the deciding factors for me. I didn't like the new lights, and coming from a Golf 7.5 R, I felt that I gave a digital cluster enough of a chance already.
A 12 lb drop in unsprung weight is actually pretty significant. I've read dropping 1lb of unsprung weight is equivalent to dropping 5-7lbs sprung weight. So, in this case, best case scenario, it would be like dropping 84lbs from the car. Certainly not enormous but could be good for a tenth in the quarter mile.

I picked up 2mph and .2 in the quarter mile on my last car after swapping OEM cast 19"s for aftermarket forged 19"s.

That said, I have 5 holes on the QV :ROFLMAO:
