OMG, those are aggressive offsets. Does that create more of a concave look than a 9.5 inch wide wheel with a 30 - 35 offset?

No idea about weight?

Thx. Is he on this board? Member name?

EDIT: A couple of people have quoted the MB weapons (18x9) as being 23.5 pounds per rim. So it appears they are heavier than OEM in that width. Perhaps the 8" wide wheel is less.

damn, that first silver 8 has the perfect stance and wheels IMO. Too bad i have to drive my 8 in the winter here, or i would definitly be doing that to mine. all the other 8s are gorgeous of course. the blue 8 is also really badass. looks like vegas is the place to be.

Not if it means a reduction in strength / safety.

i dont know of any wheel brand that sells wheels that have safety issues. im sure all wheels have to pass a certain test before being shiped and sold to the public.

Man they just dont get it do they Mike. But I dont think it has to be DOT legal. You can have $500.00 rims or $50,000.00 rims its just a number. My director of sales has a BMW 7 Series. He went over a dip in the road and has a dent in his rim. Now when he gos over 55 mph his steering wheel shakes. Its not his tire not the alignment but the rim.
I also have pix of a Lambo that hit a wall and wiped out. The center part of the wheels where the lugs conncets stayed on the car but the rim and tires came off lol I'll dig them out and scan them.

I never got to see your 8 but Anthony can make a wrecked car look whole and like it just came off the showroom floor (as with Armin's 8). If your not too busy, you should come to our calandar shoot and let Anthony do some of his magic.
