hah, sorry about that I didn't see that
I'm looking at some wheels on ebay right now: Stern Hyper Mesh II Gloss Black, I can't find a weight on them though. Everywhere else I look they seem to be fairly expensive, and on that wheel weight site, all the stern wheels have fairly low weights. Anyone else know anything about these wheels?

You could always check Tire Rack - Your performance experts for tires and wheels or Tires & Wheels - 1010tires.com the absolute tire and wheel authority. Any Forged wheel will be lighter than cast. Manufacturers you may want to still with are Volk, Champion Motorsport, BBS (Forged Lineup), some OZ Wheels, Weds, etc. Most of these wheels will be pretty pricey though.

Thanks! Actually no, a chemist, though it's actually the gray area between physics and chemistry
