weight? do you mean the race studs? no idea if they are lighter or not, but they certainly are harder and more durable.

I have these sitting in my garage waiting for the warmer weather.



They are Konig Feathers in Matte Black. 17" x 7" ET40 offset, wrapped in Flaken Azenis RT-615's, 215/40/17. I went with 215/40 because I am dropped a bit, so I didn't want any clearance/rubbing issues with a 215/45, as it would be taller than stock.

What kind of centers did you get with these wheels? Those are nice, and not too pricey.
