These wheels are a cast wheel. I am in the process of getting them weighed now. The finish is a hyper silver with a clear coat on top.

Wow (eekkk) - those are on the heavy side. Are these aluminum? 6061 or some other type?

This is one thing that so frustrates me. Either the wheels are heavy and look great or are light and look, well, like crap. To get both, you have to pay through the nose! D*A*M*N!!

Your normal 3 piece wheels is around that weight or more.

These are of aluminum construction.

Yeah, but these aren't three piece wheels. And by the way, I think these wheels look great but they are just heavy.

But I don't understand that statement... Guys put 3 piece wheels on their car constantly at 28lbs and higher!

These wheels are 25 and 28... that is not that heavy... 19" on a monoblock is 20-22 lbs.

For the price difference is the value there?
