Dave, I will be talking to them today or tomorrow. So far what I'm hearing is both good and bad. The weight of an 18x9 wheel will be in 19-20 lb range. However, they might need an order of 400 wheels.
100 sets is a lot of wheels...

Wow...100 sets...hmmm...would need to be one hell of a group buy... 
but the weight is about right that means an 18X10 is probably 21-22 which is less than the MY02 5-spoke.
Curious about your HWFMR handle.."cold climate rep"..is that cause you are in Boston?? I lived in Wayland for 4 years.
Submitted my HWFM essay...I am awaiting his Grand poo-butt's blessing??? between spankings from MS

Mike,
i'd be interested in another set of wheels. how much do you think they would go for? and what offsets are you contemplating.
for what its worth here are some ideas:
- 18x9 et 32 or 18x8.5 et45
- 18x10 et 65
what are you thinking of? i'd like to get it to the point where the front will fit a 245 and the rear a 285 on a stock fender (with perhaps some rolling).
Cheers,
Boris

Hard to tell, guys. I'll try to talk to them by the end of this week and see what teh reality is.
100 sets of wheels... is a bit too many for my blood. But we'll see what can be done.
