i didnt weigh them but the boxes were 21lbs each...so i figure at least 2-3lbs of cardboard, foam wrap and filler....i can venture a guess of around 17-18lbs....i know when i compared them to the oem's they felt allot lighter

How much $$$ ? I'm thinking of getting winter wheels / tires... Who was the seller?

PS: Your pictures aren't bad... Just MONSTER sized!

i studied the boards and asked some fellow members if they would work....they are 18X8 with (5X114.3 and 5X120) +38 offset so they fill the fenders nice.....i used the search button allot...they arent bad for being so inexpensive

very cheap, they look nice but my guess is the light weight combined with cheap manufacturing will = easily bendable. Good luck!
