Heavy, feel like they weigh twice as much as my Advanti track rims which are 4.8kg each. I've never had them bare of rubber though to check. I'd guess 8kg+. I have some much nicer rims sitting in my room which are just waiting for a set of semi-slicks to be put on them :mrgreen:

If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

Looks good! Both the car and the photo itself, the sun behind the clouds gives a nice halo effect
Are they the Gold or Gunmetal face?


They are the hyper gold, not as 'gold' in real life as they look in the promotional pictures. A great looking wheel though!
I'll get some more decent pictures when I have a chance.

EDIT: Here's a pic i just took at work, still mobile phone but a better picture!
