They look good, but there are two sides to the coin and people should choose accordingly.
Again, like I said: UNLESS you track your car or otherwise drive hard enough to notice the unsprung weight, regular CSL reps are absolutely fine. Most people looking for CSL reps are looking for a good looking wheel at a good price.

I wasn't making a blanket statement that everyone should get "25 lb 19" CSL reps" If serious weight savings are your goal, CSLs, reps or otherwise, probably shouldn't be on your shopping list.
