Never hurts to ask, right? I'll post some pics later on...

don't forget to tell where you had them done, I also just bought a set of carrea sports in sub excellent condition

That's what I was thinking. Seems like three for the price of three might be a better deal.

Only about 6-7 ounces per wheel right? Probably not noticeable on the street.

I thought it was in the 2-3lbs range, especially the rear. You're probably right that it really doesn't matter, but I'm a bit OCD when it comes to wheel weight. I'd go for light+ugly over heavy+pretty any day of the week. Forged and I'm in heaven. Someday I'll grab a set of TE37s.
