Yikes... 29 lbs!!!! That is a lot of unsprung weight, I don't think you'll like the way it drives when those are on.

just imagen cutting you 1/4 mile time by at least .5-.8 secs.

I use to have a set of oz supperlerga wheels on my lancer,lets just say my wheels and tires weighed about the same as just those wheels (both in 18's).

Sorry i dont like that style either but thats just my taste,plus your buying them.

Keep it closer to 20lbs, my oz ^^ above were 16lbs.

Enkie make wheels you might like and are always pretty light.

Thanks for the info.
i'll stay under 20lb
I agree with rims it's to each there own.
what one person finds awesome looking another might thing is ugly.
But thats what keeps it fun with everyone making there car look like there own.

i think they would be nice but like i said to someone on the other forums, they are a great design but there are way to manytt's that have that same style. But how many tt's are even around you, let alone have those wheels? I think it be done to much and i personally want something differnt myself.

those first enkies would be sweet on your black tt. They are brand new and NO ONEhas them.

TireRack.com says the OEM rims are 29.1lb that seems pretty heavy.
