So, I guess that those wheels are "unreal"? Name brands don't always mean better, IMO. Whatever. The wheels look fine, eclipseme.

LoL... I guess so. Some how those 17" 15lb wheels become "unreal" when put side by side to a 20" 23lb "real" wheel... I'm lost!

The only argument you have about weigh is that the lighter the wheel the less it takes to turn it . In this case reducing 6 pounds per wheel is equal to reducing 320 pounds of vehicle weight .Rotational mass really adds up ,if car makers would use math on these cars they could be lighter and stronger and get alot better gas mileage .Also your wheels are sharp ,and I'm the last one that could dog someone about thier wheels ,but it looks to me like you got a good deal on your rims .
