Nice wheels, I've got the same center caps on my turbo twists. How much do they weigh?. I think my rear rim bare weighs 39lbs. I might want a second set of wheels for my car when I get it running.

I haven't recieved them yet. They are probably just as heavy as 17" Cup3's give or take a few ounces.

<--That car's got 17" Cup3 Turbo Twists, and they are quite a bit heavier than stock. Wheels, tires, and brakes added well over 100 lbs to that car.

IMO, much nicer than your previous wheels. Then again, I'm partial

Good luck with them!

Offsets

Nice rims, same size as my ones :-), except you got those nice centre caps!

What offsets are they? Mine are ET50 and ET55.

205-45-17 in front? How low are you? When you get them on, let us know about rubbing and fitment issues with those tires, if there are any.
