Okay heres all the answers

1. I ordered it though a friends shop.

2. Retail is 700+ each wheel.

3. Custom wheels like these especially with the staggered look takes 3 months to get. I got it in 2 weeks. Im guessing someone ordered them and backed off, so they were in a warehouse somewhere waiting to be bought.

4. Weight is 24lbs mainly coz its a real 3 piece forged wheel thats why its so heavy.

5. It will be on this weekend IF it doesnt rain. I dont feel like cleaning my car just to put on new wheels. I got some Bridgestone S03s for them 255x35x18

6. If you want these wheels PM me and I can give you my Price. SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY please

I gurantee its the cheapest price you can get.

did I miss any questions?

Pics on a Z for reference.

I know

But apparently even HREs of the same Size weigh the same and those are 2x as much.

staggered look for rwd drive cars always have a wider lip at the back. I just wanted that look without actually having a wider wheel at the back.

I know what you mean about RWD having a wider lip (deeper dish), but your saying that the front can't have a lip because of the Brembo's? The lip (rim of the wheel) has nothing to do with the fitment around the hub or the brakes. Fitment has to do with the design of the center pc. The lip (inner and outer) measurment is determined based on the inner and outer fender (hence the backspacing). You can actually run a wider (deeper) lip on the front vs the rear (or a wider wheel).

BTW, nice wheels!
