I've seen those rims in person and seriously considered them. They are like 27lbs though. I think they look really nice, esp. on a darker color of car.

Nice looking rims, but way too heavy if they're 27 Lbs. Stock rims are around 23 Lbs.

I've had dealers give me estimates around a $1100 for rims and four Kuhmo tires

Thats what I said too in my head . . . wow didn't know they made rims. But I'd look for something different. Those are pretty heavy rims.

I have also seen these in person... VERY heavy, but price is not bad. You might get a decent price with tires from www.EdgeRacing.com

They are in Weston so you can possibly pick them up and not have to pay for shipping.

They also carry Flik wheels that are fairly cheap. One in particular comes 18x8 and weighs 21.5lbs which would be slightly better than stock. Add to those some Toyo T1S tires and you start to shed the pounds.
