The front's weigh 16.9 lbs on my scale and the rears weigh 17.4 lbs.

I got them directly from Mackin. We recently received a partial sponsorship from them and they had some in stock. If not yeah they would take at least 8 weeks to come in.

Yeah, that is light for that size. Nice you got them that quick. I ordered Volks last year and they arrived exactly 3 months later.

Nice! I have a customer that we installed a set of RE30's in Mag Blue on his Skyline R34 GTR. The first time I saw them I knew that the RE30's is what I wanted for my FD, until then I was on the fench for Advan Racing RS.

Nice choice! Hurry up with some installed pictures!

Ok, here are the wheels mounted....

Please excuse the dirty car! Also keep in mind FEED Fenders have yet to be installed.

I'm happy with the way they look!

Your front fenders are rolled correct? How much because I bought 18x9 +34 offset and everybody is telling me that they will not fit in the front with just a fender roll.

I'm going with FEED fronts... personally I don't think this would work as is... It would be fine on the road but the first curve or driveway you went up the fender would be toast. My fenders are not rolled currently, if they were it may provide more room but it wouldn't be enough for me to be comfortable. I'm kind of conservative tho.

My previous wheels were 18x9 +50 and they fit just fine...

Well, If he cuts the rear quarter, I say it would be kind of hard to go back..

yes, you can't go back.

It was hard making this decision but it's done.
