Those look pretty darn good. I am reminded a little of CCW SP500s.

you guys probably wont believe this, but i got them for 679.00 shipped to my door (wheels only) google "oe wheels ebay" and go to their store on the auction site. these are "deep dish" style. the only problem i have with them is where they put the weights, which i'm trying to have them pay to have them re-balanced locally becaust its rediculious. i'll put pics below.

Where else do you want them to put the weights? If you put them on the inner lip, they will not be as "true" as they are now and I assume you don't want clip on weights on the outer lip!

I agree i think the only choice you have with weights is to mirror polish them. Go bust out your dremel and get to work! with regards to the wheels I think they look 1/3 the price but I think its because I think you should have gone 19/20 !

i want the clip ons on the inner lip.

as far as the size, i think 20's are too big on these cars. what i actually wanted was 18/19's but this wheel doesn't come in those sizes. 18x10.5 was the only 18" size available and i didn't want a 10.5" wheel in the front.

Those wheels look great. Where did you get them and how much do they weigh?

For the weights, it looks like the place put a whole bunch of smaller ones on instead of one or two larger ones. Should be a simple fix. Also, moving the weights inboard will change the balance of the wheels.
