Picked them up used on ebay…the only way to go. Once I get them they will be refinished black. Debating on leaving the lip silver or just doing the whole wheel black but htey are basically what I have on my car now just 18" instead of 15" Can’t wait to use them autocrossing. ![http://www.steelcitysfinest.com/php/upload/borbetTD.JPG](http://www.steelcitysfinest.com/php/upload/borbetTD.JPG) I got them Friday. Dude shipped them with packing tape and bubble wrap…thats it! no boxes etc. so they are a bit more beat up than I expected but I’ll bring them back to life. They are simple and light. Cant wait to have them on even though it;ll prob be sometime after Carlisle. Dude was also a little late shipping them. F douchebag ebayers :rant: ---

> [@lawnboy](#): > > I’ll bet those suckers are pretty heavy I bet they weigh less than 27 lbs…which is not bad for a 19x10.5 wheel. A good quality forged wheel can weigh very little. For example, these 19x9, 19x10 RAC Monolites weigh only 22 lbs and 23 lbs…pretty good for such a large wheel. ---

I’ll weigh them when I get a chance. I knew they would be light but not sure, my super huge muscles scew my judgement of weight. ---
