Too much for what they will cost you from a dealer.

Who buys OEM wheels from a dealer???
They over price them...
If you like OEM wheels, look at the fs ads (here or at home on Kijiji or Craig's List)... You will find what you are looking for. I did. Got my 18s R105s, in mint condition for $600...
Yes, they are heavy. But who cares? I don't! It's all for looks... And I am not racing, so that extra weight will not ruin my career on the track
I drive on non runflats, so there is the weight saving 1:1...

Cheers!

Amen Tata Steva. I paid $800 for them on the car when purchased, but very well made, sturdy, good looking wheels in my opinion. (And all-in-all, not too heavy, check out some the weight of other lesser quality after market wheels...)
By the way, my bathroom scale says 18.5# for OEM R119s...

haha, i wasnt going to buy them, i know they suck! they came on my mini but then i was beginning to think about saving some weight with a lighter wheel+tire combo, not to mention getting rid of the 195/55/16 runflats, 23lbs per tire... i was thinking the r119 wheels weighed alot so i want to get these now, what do you guys think?

LOL my stock 15's are incredibly light. I rotated tires today and was surprised at how light they were... Advantage 15's!
