Yeah, they are not that heavy, but they are cast NOT forged, but they are also cheap ($600/set from Discount Tire)

^Discount Tire doesn't have them anymore. I got a set from a wheel place on eBay really cheap, but I think they were moving out stock.
About the only place I've seen them is http://stores.ebay.com/Buy-Wheels-Today or rarely they'll pop up used.

Exactly the info I was looking for. Thanks Now are you lowered? I'm talking with someone right now trying to get a full Z suspension to lower a little and keep some OEM feel to the ride. Will they still fit if I do that?

^well played sir. I knew Discount would match prices, but I didn't know they would match eBay prices. Most places exclude internet offers.
Good info, I'll keep it in mind.

So you're sitting on stock Z springs and D-Specs? For some reason I thought you were lower. Looks good. I'm on full Z suspension right now, so this is good news.
When you got the D-Specs, did you order the ones for the Sedan or the Z?

I may just be reading the info wrong, so I apologize for all the stupid/redundant questions.

Im looking at getting the raderwerks M-TEN85s, there site is arranged kind of weird but if you go to www.raderwerks.com and look under "flat lip style" you'll find the wheels im talking about. If anyone can let me know if these will fit at all It will be greatly appreciated.
