Very nice, I may have to look for a set myself.

It would be interesting to see how much they weigh in comparison to stock 19" wheels you had.

I saw on another forum, that someone weighed the GT500 wheels and were 60-61lbs done on a bathroom scale...

I just went and weighed my stock wheel, and it was 60lbs on my bathroom scale.

So I guess the GT500 wheels are lighter, if you take into account its wider and has more rubber. Than my stockers. But not by much.

That was my thought, with the extra width of the wheel and the width of the meat on the tires, these are not much different in weight. Sure do look a heck of a lot better though in my opinion. These are my most favorite mod to date !!

60-61 pounds for the WHEEL? Please tell me the tire is still on it...

EDIT: Reading between the lines, I get you mean the wheel and tire.

Yes with tires.

Here is 1 more pic. I tinted the center foglights. I dont plan on using them, so I used a tint that is a "cling on tint" Still use the same process of soapy water then squeegie out the water. Since I dont want to pony up the dough to get different grille, this is my best attempt to make the center fogs not as noticable.

I tinted mine as well.....and I still used them intermittently...it cracked my fog lenses. So be careful!!
