thats what their website says, but they really won't have any until the end of june. Everyplace i found them on the internet i called and no one was getting them until mid june, not even Enkei themselves, because they have to be shipped from japan. I picked mine up from the local "speed" shop which got them a couple weeks ago and i bought them as soon as i saw them.

That looks tight! How much do they weigh in with the kumos on them? Or is that? I can't make it out?

That means each tire weighs 24.5lbs? Can this be true?

the 18x7.5 weighs 17.5 lbs and the 17x8 weighs 17.1 lbs. The tires usually consist of more than half the total weight with almost all light wheel packages, but alot of people don't consider this when upsizing wheels.

Side Note:
I also weighed my stock 16" with tire today and it came to around 44 lbs, compared to the 42 i got with the enkei/nitto.
