Option lab rims. Any experience?

I'm on the market for some new rims for my 2010 GSR. And came across these;

http://optionlab.net/wheels/

Has anyone had any experience with them? What's the weight comparison compared to stock? I'm used to big heavy rims (big XD's Ect. ).

Does anyone suggest any others that are similar to these?

Thanks in advance

factory gsr wheel seems to run 21-22 lbs

These wheels are 23 lbs. But 1 inch wider. So the 1 lb gain is not bad considering additional wheel width.

For the price you can't be considering anything else. Rotas are going to be no less than 950, for the same or less quality than option lab. Only option left is to go big with TE's for $3k+

These look good, but the price kind of scares me.

Interesting. A cheap 18x9.5 that clears OE brakes and has a +22 offset. Good find.

Yes, I DD and Track with them. It is a great product that is followed by excellent customer service. David and Dennis are great guys that take care of their customers and go the extra mile to take care of them. Not only do they sell Option Lab Wheels, but they use them on their own cars. You cannot go wrong. It is a Win-Win situation...Excellent wheel in an 18x9.5 +22, and is followed up by customer service that is second to none.

Also, they have great sample pics of Evos that are Tracked/ DD with camber and height differences so that you have a great idea of how they really look on the car.

If you show this quote to Dennis or David at Option Lab, they'll joke with you and they'll will gladly raise the price for you if the price is "too" good for you LOL...no hidden fees or craziness - that is the true price. You basically get more for your money than you would think...you'll be happy with the purchase!!!

Was going to jump on these too, but like others said the price is crazy low. I guess for the quality you can't expect much better for less than "Rota" prices and i'm sure its similar quality. Would like to see gunmetal w/ polished lips on a silver X, i think they'd look sharp.

I wish they made a 10.5 15 offset.... Then they'd be perfect.
