Very sexy. Remind me a lot of those HRE's i saw on another members car that posted some time back. Hows those weight figures stack up though against the likes of some of the lightweight monos?

Thanks speed, I was looking at the Tech1-107's in 20". Per Mike the weights were;
20x9 = 17.25 lbs
20x12 = 21.28 lbs

Pretty good difference when it comes to a lightweight forged monoblock. Nevertheless I was looking for a steplip wheel.

No denying its a great look even if they are a few lbs heavier. 19" is the better way to go too so thats a good offset to the lighter 20's. Btw its time to refresh the avatar. Thanks for sharing..

I wouldn't say worried....more like aware. As long as they were lighter than the stockers = win.

Sickest look I have seen in a while! Really nice job. That is better than flat lip in my opinion.

I agree. Steplips are making a come back and they make the wheels lighter too.
