What are the weights on these? I'm having custom aluminum wheels made as I write this, 16 X 8 fronts, 16 X 9 1/2 rears, 12 and 15 lbs respectively. The guy measured the exact offsets and CNC machined the centers. I'm looking for a good set of slicks for them, any ideas would be great. Jim at TruDesign Wheels (Wheatridge, Colorado) is making these for a total of $1350.

I'll post some pictures when I get them.

I like the stockers better. Not sure why, but I haven't seen many rims that look better than them on the FC. Sure am jealous that you can have your FC outside, i couldn't even get mine out of the garage if I tried right now

please do. I had no idea that getting custom rims done by a guy with the right machine (saw the machine on OCC) would be in a such a reasonable price bracket.
What kind of design did you get done?

man, those look awesome! but yeah, needs to be a bit lower. also, the tires look kinda small? what size?

Green Spyder - wow, that sounds awesome. would you happen to have an address, or maybe just a website for this place? also, are you getting some sort of hookup, or deal? or is that the same price anyone would get?
