Sweet. Wish they made them in that bolt pattern in 17s though, but at least they're lighter.

530 each or for 4??? the wheels i was looking at were 14lbs for 17's and 280 each... 530 for 4 lightweight 18's seems low.

why do so many people think that if you get smaller or larger wheels you have to get your speedo adjusted??? that's why they put a thicker or thinner sidewall tire on the wheel. as long as the outside diameter stays close to the same, there isn't a problem.
