I'm buying these wheels next week and I just want to know how they feel. I know they are real heavy so is it a pain or can you even notice? PLEASE LET ME KNOW. THANKS

I had them on at one point and they feel like any other rim. They aren't that heavey considering what they're made of, only 20 somethn lbs ea from what I remember. If you want some what of comfort get 255/35/20.

I happen to have a 06 FX and I have my stock wheels off the vehicle. The wheels weight over 40lbs each. WIth stock FX tires, they are almost 70 lbs

That's why I thought it effected the ride. Because 40 pounds plus tires isn't light. But they still are factory wheels so..... I'll try it. eBay has them for $200 per wheel

Maybe we all have different scales but when I had mine they weighed less than 30lbs w/out the tire and close to 60lbs with 255/35/20 sumitohmos. Mine were aluminum 20x8 by the way. They will slow you down some but only a few tenths of a second which u won't notice unless u take it to the track like I did. Most people who upgrade to 20"s on here don't really care about saving weight which is why not too many people have forged light weight rims. From what I have seen most cast wheels weigh anywhere from 25lbs and up.

Ride is great compaired to 22's and negligible compared to sport 19's. I have 255's on mine and no problems. I only used them for winter driving but since im in san diego for the next few years they are just gathering dust on my balcony. I do agree 200 each is high. I didnt spend over 9 with tires but no tpms. good luck though

I'm also looking at a set of these? Does $600 sound like a good deal? Comes with FX tires so I would have to remove those.

Its a good deal! Take the tires off and if they're any good, sell them on craigslist or something!!
