I think they look bigger as the spokes go all the way to the rim, compared to the traditional dished wheels

Many reasons Chief among which is that they are exactly the style I was after to achieve the look I'm going for. I've had VE/TSW on Volkswagens for years and have never had a problem.

Weight is under 11kg (24lb) for 18x8

Great build. Is there a better way to finish the bilsteins that the way too large washer with the offset? Mine are the same way, and it just looks so janky.

I believe the idea is that if that bushing were to fail, that too large washer would keep the lower mount in place versus having a catastrophic suspension failure.

Yup, exactly right. Also the space is necessary so that the bottom joint has room for proper articulation.

Thanks for answering that question. I was wondering too.
Makes sense.
