    For reference my 17x7.5 Grids weight 18lbs I have read. I would go on to guess that these are 21-23lbs ???

    Probably a good guess.

    Nice wheels, I would totally be rocking these if they made them in the size and offset I wanted.

    maybe I'm a bit biased nowadays. I love the looks of these wheels, but sacrificing performance for looks just doesn't seem right to me anymore.

    It sucks that the nice AND light wheels are sooo damn expensive.

    I'll try to post up some more pics this week sometime my GF took a bunch of pictures and photoshopped them for me so there not on my computer.

    Yeah I'm not a fan of it either but I just really can't see myself dropping 3-5k on rims when I could do so much to my car with that much money.
