You get what you pay for. It's great for the price.

If your getting a set of 19s you really don't care about the weight.

If you got a good set of tires performance would improve regardless of the wheel.

I don't think that's true. My 19's weigh less than stock and look much better, too.

Ricky are you sure the stock rears weigh 30lbs? I thought it was just over 28lbs. Anyways, you forgot to mention that the dyna's are larger than the stocks at 19x8.5 and 19x10.
