i have those on my silvia s13 and they weight about 15 or so lbs. they r really sweet wheels for the price too. they weigh less than the volks te37. i think tiredirect has them too and ull also get the center caps w/ em too.

For 4 of these, you could buy 1 1/2 of Volks!!

Are you referring to the MB Motorsports/A-Tech wheels in 17x9? If so, I find that extremely hard to believe and will take that statement with a small boulder of salt.

I'm guessing they are more like 18-19 lbs, but I will weigh them with tires (Azenis RT-615) when they get here.

They came today, the tires were filled to capacity, so 51psi. I believe the RT-615's weigh 26.5 lbs, so that would put these wheels at a weight of 17.75lbs !!!

Those look nice for the money. Curious to see them on the car. Hard to believe they are that light, but that appears to be a precise scale.

Clears the Brembos by a mile, although (and I'm on stock IX suspension) the fronts BARELY rub the plastic when the wheel is cut all the way.

I'm getting an alignment on Friday, we'll see how that goes.

Thanks for the pictures. I'm thinking about a set of these now for autocross tires.

I just recently purchased the below listed rims for my Evo from discount tire based on what there website recommended would fit.. and the front rims don't clear the brembo's, i think i m going to need spacers to get them to work...

What size spacer you guys think? and do i needed extended wheel studs? do I need spacers on all four wheels? The backs fit fine.. don't know much about this, thanks for any help/advise.
