Need a picture from farther back to see a more "overall" shot. Like 'em!
Curious to know the weight of those.
The place I got them asked their warehouse. They replied "the shipping weight is 18lbs.". But I'm not sure if that is correct or not. Because the weight on each box's shipping label stated 26lbs. which includes all the shipping material. They did feel noticeably lighter than the 18" huffs. However, TSW is almost impossible to contact and get a response from. I'll dig around some more.
OK-just found out that a 18"x9" is 20.5 lbs. and a 19"x8.5 is 22lbs, so my 18"x8" are probably around 19lbs. I think that's around 9lbs lighter than the 18" huffs.

That's better than what I thought they'd be, nice. Losing 36lbs of unsprung weight should help in the performance, handling & comfort areas.

ok i want these....^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^:bow::bow::bow:
dont care they are reps, at 20.2lbs and pluss at the moment i just cant splash out 2500 g+ on a set of "proper" wheels. but these are hot.. i tryed out the 19 huff reps but sold them on due to rubbing n being way to heavy, so these seem a nice option.. any links on where i can get them?

Opted to try the new Enkei Fujins, 18x8 w/ Continental ExtremeContact DW 225/40R18. No suspension mods yet, so be nice about the wheel gap. *edit* swapped in some cleaner photos
