They weigh about 19lbs. each, which is only slightly lighter than my stock R83's, and 20.1lbs. each. Hmmmmmmm...

Trak Lites are very nice forged wheels that are worth the money. Fit and finish is not perfect but for the price they are worth the money..

Measure the length of the thread that stick's thru the wheel and the call a rim shop up to get the bolts. Make sure they are 12x1.5 conical seat lug bolts..

here's a link to pics of the Motegi TLs I just bought last week. These pics are more realistic of gunmetal than the sales pics they put up. They are on ebay for $900 new or pay up to $1400 retail.

The OEM studs are too short, so I am going to convert to 57mm studs with lugs.
