Interesting. How about a pic and a link or two? And maybe the complete name of the manufacturer?

Ok, site is http://www.01designsystem.com/

Wheels cost $1490 for a set.

And here's a shot of the wheel...

They are local here in Miami, I have spoken to them and I think I remember them being 19lbs for the 18".

They were bringing out a new design which would be lighter. These it seems are more show than go, but then at the price... not too shabby

I like the idea and I've seen them in person at car shows

IMO they dont look too good in person

I think they're ok... but to me, it wouldn't be worth it without a considerable weight savings.

So FYI, I called them today to see how much they weighed, and was told the 18x8 is about 19 Lbs. Not that huge a savings.

I thought I said that

And I think they're 18x7.5 :p

LOL, yup, you did. Guess it would help if I read and absorbed what you wrote! D'oh! :D
