I really like the look of most of their wheels (http://www.arospeed.com/nodata.asp), but have been unable to find weights for most of their models. Anyone familiar with the quality of this companies wheels or know where to find weights?
Don't mind going a little heavier if I really like the look, but definatly lookin to reduce the wheel weight from stock.

Ditto QuickBrick,

I like the look of the Arospeed Crazy 8 wheels, but I couldn't find the weight, either. The only spec I found was for the Arospeed RS6 17 x 7 at 23 lbs.

Here's a picture of the Arospeed Crazy 8s (they look like a knockoff of the RH CP8R, don't they?)

Got no response here, so I went to local retailers. It seems they are produced by a manufacturer who produces several different brands of lower mid quality wheels and just stamps a name on them. Nothing special, not light, not cheap. I really like the look of several models, but in the end decided if I was gonna spend that kind of money wanted something lighter - drew my line at 18lbs - plenty of great wheels under that weight.
Tough call - Looks that always grabs your eye, light weight, cost.

If you like wheels with a polished lip, check out http://www.rojawheels.com. Just beware - polished lip Formula7's only come in 18" and up.
