They look good, however they appear to be a cast wheel. I almost bought a set until I inquired about their weight. (someone here said they were heavy) I e-mailed the folks at "buywheelstoday.com", and the reply I got was that their front 17" wheels are 26-27 lbs each, and the rear 18s are 30-31 lbs. each. That's 7 lbs. more for the front, and 11 lbs. more in back. That's adding a LOT of unsprung weight!!
