Beauties. I would be very interested in a long term report on those, as I am a little leary as to whether they will hold up. Good luck and let us know how it goes.
What do they weigh?

Gorgeous. Must resist. Don't think my daughter would understand if we served KFC instead at her wedding this August.

Weights of wheels:
I will weigh the factory wheels after the Dymags are installed.
Unfortunately things are on hold for a while. See the last picture. One of the wheels has a small defect in it. My options are to keep with a small monetary adjustment or send to factory to have reconditioned. I am proposing I use these wheels, have them send me a replacement wheel and then change it and send the bad one back. They don't seem to like that option. Am I out of line in my request? I don't want a refinished (although new) rim. Would almost rather keep the wheel with the blemish than take a chance on a refinished rim.

first off, awesome wheels. my first choice when i get around to it.
as for your request, i don't think it's unreasonable given their high cost. but if they want recondition to sell later, which is not unreasonable in of itself, then it makes your argument kinda tough. if the blemish is hard to take, looks like you're gonna have to wait it out a bit longer. but of course, they should compensate you for your troubles.
and, yes, we would love both short and long-term reports.

Well it looks like the defect is on the metal and not the carbon fiber so it should be relatively easy for a good wheel shop to fix. You'll never see it especially after you get the first stone chip

Absolutely phenomenal. Your car is a real dream machine. Love the color combo. Now just bolt on AWE's 700 kit and drop it a tad. About the blemish: at that price, they should be perfect, but in the long run it won't matter. Nobody is gonna give you crap for having sh*@%y wheels.
