They are very light. They weigh about 19 lbs for the 19 inch wheel. I believe that has to be right about what the BBS weighs if not a bit under.

(Wheels-wise, that is...)

You can also get a wider wheel to accommodate more tire. The FGT team was going to widen the rear tire for the Mk II, so even if you gained a couple pounds, a better tire with more contact patch could also be beneficial.

I like it on both the white car and the black car. I am amazed that they look different on each car.

The white car is mine.

I'm not sure if the black car is a chop or actual picture.

20x9.5 and 20x13 I think it is.

Going with 21s in the rear in the spring but they were on backorder and I didn't want to wait.

Hey Kumar, the wheels look great! I just noticed the FORD TT decal on the side instead of "GT". Cool. Very nicely done. :thumbsup
