If it's true then these have to be best rims for our car. What are the offsets?

This seems too good to be true. It would make more sense if it was 10 kg. How much do you weigh on the same scale?

Spider said it best. If it weight you accurately it may not weigh a 10 pound object accurately. How about trying two gallons of water? (should be very close to our stock wheel weight)

That is a very nice weight. I'd want the rear width to be more than 8", though.

I think his scale is set on metric. I really doubt the 18" Gt-u is 10 pounds. 10 kg is more likely which equals about 22 pounds. I have a set of 17" volk Gt-a's there is no way they are close to 10 pounds.

Someone should be smacking themselves on the head for leaving the scale in kg. Jeff from Evolution says they weigh near 18-20lbs each.
