A-Specs look 1000x better than those....and $1300 a ripoff. $300 would be a little more fair.

Yes. I don't know about A LOT but I know they are the heaviest out of all the stock TL wheels.

EDIT: Apparently they weigh the same...I was under the impression they weighed more...

That thread is incorrect. Base '04-06 wheels weigh 24.5 lbs according to Innacurate, so we know that's highly reliable, and other sources on the net claim somewhere in the 27-28 lb range for the A-Specs.

Go with A-Specs, they look the best IMO and especially if you can get them for 600.

I would try them out if they are 18" and are not 1300 bucks.....I think there are better choices for that price but you are entitled to your own style....
