Do you have any idea what they weigh? I am in the market for some new wheels but don't want somehting heavier than my R90's but want to go 18" as well.

Yes, MC with MCS ViS Racing CF hood. Nope no rubbing with 225/35-18, custom offsets are great when wanting to go with wider tires. Lowered on H&R springs.

No idea on how much the R90's weight, but these are roughly 20lbs a piece. Not much in weight savings since these are 2pc wheels.
