Centerline Monsoon ( Storm ) wheel

Does anyone have any experience with this wheel? 17x7 with a 42 offset but what does it weigh? It looks quite nice though.

I've got Center line RPM's in 18". I weighed mine before mounting tires and they were 15.5 lbs each!

I believe the Storm's weigh about the same. I would say in the 14-15lb range.

Had them for a while .. Bent 3 of them. I had one of the First protype sets .. at the time they were called the Impulse Wieght was 11.2 lbs for the 17". After they went into full production they changed the name to Storms weight is the 15.5 lbs. for the 17" . Bent one of the production rims as well. Tried taking the rim to a wheel repair shop. Specializing in Forged rim repair. After putting it on his bench and doing a test. He refused to work on them. Stating they were to Thin.(yes this was the Prototypes). Looks wise they clean up great. but will have problems with Brake dust embedding in the metal.
