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

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 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.
