I never weighed them. I liked the look for a summer wheel.

Well you lifted them (granted, probably different rubber). Similar weight as stockers?

Actuall the weight is very simular to stock. The guys that mounted the tires commented on how light the wheels were for 18X9s. Even the center mounting hub is machined on the inside.

just drop 1" on swift springs or eibach's, yeah Coils get messed up quick on bumpy/potholes roads.

I have bad luck with coopers they didnt stick at all just slid all over the place and not in a good way, and they also wore down really fast. but the wheels look sick on your car!

Thanks for all the comments. I really like the wheels too. I cannot seem to find another set on another car anywhere.

As for the tires....these are Coopers's highest end tires. The "new" ones if you will. The older zeons were a much harder compound than these. Look up "cooper 2XS" and you will see what I mean.

I think they would look better with the center caps removed.
The color of the caps doesn't match the wheel.

I would have put some better tires on. I think that they are not something to go cheap on.
