Turbo Wheels

I am waiting for my '07 C2S Slate/Nat. Brown Cab. to arrive. I ordered the Turbo wheels.
How do you, who already have them, like them?

some discussions about these, 6speeders prefer the turbo rims on non turbo car, they look pretty cool, here is an example made by suncoast (Carlos Amador sorry if i scratched your name),the car which i made my avatar, it's so beautiful.

rzundel is infamous around these parts
I received the first set of turbo wheels that were delivered to the US. I paid a premium for them because the Turbo was not even out yet. I chose the turbo wheels because I thought they were the best looking authentic porsche wheels available. I still stand by that thought. In a 19" wheel, there probably is not a better option. There are some real nice 20" options out there. The turbo wheel is a forged wheel. Nice construction. I wish they would have chosen black as the accent color. The gray makes them look a little dirty even when clean. Now that they are offered as a $900 option, you can't bet the deal.

Pretty light.
Not many aftermarket wheels are this light. I believe the BBS GT's are about this weight.
Anything lighter out there?
