I'll weigh em with tires eventually but without tires in 15" they are 12.5 lbs Decently light weight, the 15" rpf1's are a couple pounds lighter.

Maaaaan, I was gonna get those! Well, guess I'll wait and see how they look. Anything that looks that good and costs under $150/per is win.

exactly! After being in Japan this april, i noticed that the wheels from all the legit companies that people pay 400+ per wheel for are usually sold for 120-200 per wheel in japan. I understand the whole supply and demand issue, but that doesnt make the wheels worth the mega bucks that they want to sell them for. So I wont pay a ridiculous amount for wheels anymore. It just doesn't make sense
