Damn! These are the wheels I've been eyeing for my FD....
They look great but....I'm not sure they're worth this much fuss.
I want to get the 18" - anyone know how much they weigh???
How much they cost???

rotoboy661 sent you a PM....
How much are these wheels new? Do they weight less than 20 lbs a piece?
Just so you know - I have been to the Mackin Industrires Web Site and cannot find the weight info there - only sizes and offsets.
Someone has gotta know.......

Well, Here they are...I love the wheels but I can't say I would ever order from Volk again. ****** are too slow.
Anyway, here are some pics for you.

I hope to do H&R sport springs by the end of the year...Coilovers are next summer...This rebuild, wheels, and everything else has totally raped my wallet.

I weighed the rear wheel with the tire and it was 54Lbs. don't know why I didn't weigh the front...Kinda gives you an appreciation for how light the stockers are...

They look nice, too bad that they're not going to sell the other f pros anymore.I don't know why it took you so long to get them it usually doesn't take that long.

There are a plethora of variables involved. When you deal with companies like Volk and with a product as pricey as wheels, you are going to have to wait.

I was thinking of getting the wheels so i went to a volk dealer that i have bought rims from in the past.I asked the guy i always go through and when i told him the rims i wanted he told me sorry he couldn't get those for me, anyother grams i wanted he could get , but not those.I couldn't believe it so i kept asking him, i as thinking in my head wtf is up with him today, and he told me the reason he couldn't get them for me is because RO_JA another rim manufactuar bought them out from rays, so now they own they rights to the 57 f pros.

I ordered them since 9/17/04 and dealer just told me today they send it out and I shall receive by 3/18/05. This made 16 weeks waiting period piece of cake 
Not sure what take them so long to get these wheels here. As far as RO_JA comment, I don't think so as Rays still produce them.
