Did you happen to weigh those rims before you put them on? I'm trying to find light weight rims and not all MFG put the weight on there rim

and those rims are sweet

Honestly I didn't weight them but i had powedercoated 2000 GT wheels on before them and just judging by holding both of them up they seemed about the same, the 10.5 obviously seemed a little heavier, but the fronts seemed the same.

All of those wheels with that factory modified look (17x10.5 is the key size to look for) are made pretty from teh same castings. OE Wheel, OE concepts etc etc they are all the same with less than 1-2lbs of difference.

If you want lite then go with BBS or maybe the new steedas.
