wheels are the same size as stock:

stock 5-star weights
--- fronts 17.5 lbs each
--- rears 18.6 lbs each

jdm 6 spoke weights
--- fronts 13.3 lbs each
--- rears 14.3 lbs each

if you are interested, send me a PM, because I'm about to order a few sets for some autox'ers. they aren't cheap, but they are VERY light as you can tell from the #'s.

if you want light wheels, you can get TE37s or other models from Volk Racing that will be lighter in the same size (im guessing they will be a bit cheaper or just as much judging from the "they aren't cheap" notion regarding the JDM wheels)...unless you like the way they look.

the big advantage for the autox guys is... they can still be in stock class because they are running stock wheel sizes, same offsets, just hella lightweight. so, its not for everyone. but the looks are very unique in the US market.

Yea! I really like them! I used them on the track and they really match my Sebring Silver color! They are LIGHT! When I first received the wheels without the tires on them and they felt VERY LIGHT! Of course after mounting the tires they got a lot heavier.
I got them at a great deal earlier this year (Can't tell you how much, because it's a great deal) $1800-$1900 sounds about right. About 1-2 years ago they had a group buy for only $1500!
And I don't think TE37 have the same offset as the stock wheels to run SCCA? Plus I think the TE37 are higher price? (but they are lighter? around 12.5 lbs?)
