Good looking. Did the girl come with them? She appears to be in Mercury Silver as well.

They look very nice in that finish. Could you weigh them before mounting the tires?

Very nice! I'm looking at these wheels too. Do they come in 17x9 & 17x10 sizes? Also, where did you get them? I know Pann Auto in San Diego sells them.

OK.... Got the wheels weighed on an electronic scale. It's calibrated everyday and is used for court purposes so it's very accurate. The wheels were weighed out of the box but they still at the little black Volk wheel bonnet on them.

18x8.5 = 17.5 lbs.
18x9.5 = 18.0 lbs. (actually 17.94)
