Got my TSW Thruxton's...
:D
(2) 18 X 8 Thruxton 5-114.3 (2) 18 X 9.5 Thruxton 5-114.3 (2) 225/45-18 Toyo Proxes 4 (2) 245/40-18 Toyo Proxes 4
I'll take some day pics tomorrow (weather permitting :p)
didn't get the weight of each wheel, but i weighed them w/ the tires while i was mounting them.. the stocks came in @ 51lbs and the Thruxtons came in @ 49lbs.. dunno if that answers some of your initial questions...

I never really cared for dark wheels on anything other than blk or gry, but I'm now convinced. Good choice.

Daaaaaaaaaaaaamn, those look great! :D
Flip, could you do me a favor? I'm seriously considering these wheels (or the TSW Volcanos) but looking at the daylight pics (especially the 5th one), it looks like the wheels "protrude" beyond the body work in front by a fair bit. Is this the case?
Could you take a pic flush with the side of the car with the front wheels straight so I could see how much, if any, they do protrude? Thanks....

Those look sweet!! I'm set to get new rims in the spring when the winter tires (and now wheels) come off. I'm still torn on the color that would look best on the black 8. Gunmetal, hyperblack, black and silver. Your pics make me lean toward the hyperblack...
Where did you pick those up? Are they reasonably priced? If you go to TSW's website there is little info on price and the only dealers they list are discount tire shops.
