Pictures are crappy, because the platic is still on them, but you get the idea. They are 2005 18" LS430 Rims.

Dude listen to me slowly - watch the little cartoon - you're getting sleepy - - You must get your wheels on tomorrow and take photos to show your ride off

I've got posts around here how much the '97-98 16's came in at but off the top of my head, I don't remember the weight.

Since mine are unmounted, maybe it's time I took them to calibrated scale to get a true weight on them.

My ball park weight for the 18" LSportline M-IV with tire is 52.X lbs. The Stock combo was 48 lbs.
