Default New wheels arrived yesterday

I just received my wheels after 4 months of waiting.
Forgeline ZX3R 9x18, 12x18 powdercoated black.
I just weighed them (20.2lbs F, 22.4;lbs R). Does anyone know the weight of OEM wheels in 8x18, 10x18 Carrera lll (5 Spoke)?

Actually, I figured they were not on the car yet, but I couldn't resist a little light hearted "jab in the ribs" about the pics. They should look sweet on your car!

Nicely done! Great looking wheels, lip and wing. See my post on your other thread about Techart side skirts. They would look great on your car!

Wheels look great! I'm surprised that the fronts fit so well. Do you have GT3 front control arms on the car? What tire and what sizes are you running?

Thanks,
No, they're original control arms. I'm running Toyo RA1's 245/40/18 & 305/35/18
