No--it's just the glare of the sun. The caliper is perfect.

I like the way they look though.

I will weigh them on another scale before I get tires mounted.

Did you get to re-weigh them? The 5Zigen web site says they're 16 lbs. I'm thinking about getting a set but only if they weigh 16 lbs.

Sorry--didn't get a chance and the tires are already on. I think they are between 18 and 19 lbs.

Any rubbing predicted with these? I presume you're going to use a 255 tire? Do they come in any other colors?

I see that (just did a search

) so thanks. One question remaining though... he's running the stock 235's on there, I doubt that would ever rub, they're not really wide enough for a 9" wheel anyhow. I'd be interested in seeing amount of space he has on each side between the tire lip and the fender lip, and the suspension and tire lip (outside and inside of the wheel).
