Don't forget a lot of that extra weight has to do with the fact that it's a bigger wheel. 18x9's compared to 17x8's. That's a lot of extra metal.

Heck, their is one available that is 18x10 and is only 19lbs! Lighter than the stock 17x8! It is offcourse $500 per wheel but....

These are the only other decent pics I took yesterday. I'm not real happy with the +36mm offset, but I didn't have any choice. These were the only black rims I could find in 18x9 that I liked. I just washed the car tonight so hopefully I can take some more pictures tomorow.
On a side note, I had to remove the hub(?) dust caps to be able to put on the front center caps. The dust caps stick out to the edge of the wheel so there wouldn't have been any way to put a center cap on the wheel without removing it.
We were talking about weight earlier and I just noticed CrossRoadzDirect has them listed at 20 lbs each. It's probably a misprint, but now I wish I would have weighed them.
