Mine are 2-3 lbs lighter than a stock set up with stock size tires, My new rims are all an inch wider and tires are wider than factory. If i go out to a 255 & 295 they will prob weight as much as a factory set up. so big props to strasse for making wider 19s that weight less than factory. this is accomplished by doing stepped lips rather than straight cut and race prepping (back honing the space between the lugs from the back side of the wheel. The car handles much better than it did on 20s by leaps and bounds and is more responsive with the wider tires than stock, plus it looks sweet . Im very happy with my purchase.

Are you sure about the weight? Because NT05s are not light, definitely over 25lbs, that would mean that your wheels are well under 20lbs.

Well I have 4 sets of wheels an tires for my F depending on what I'm doing with the car and people have loved and hated all of them.... I think that's why theres thousands of wheel choices out there.
