These look like heavy cast made in Korea wheels, I expect weighing in at well over 40 lbs, add that to a 38-44 lb tire and your braking and handling are all screwed up except for boulevard cruising.

I won't spend the $$ on proper light weight forged wheels but they are well worth it if one wants to upgrade, the idea being to get a 20 -22 wheel and tire combo weighing less than stock, the only place to save weight is in the wheel and my guess is these wheels won't even come close.

im only going 20's...so at least i got that goin for me...which is nice.

I like the Demoda stuff way better than the others... And most of the wheels now are from China or Korea any way. I heard even the TIS stuff is...

Euro > US Dollar

DIP wheels are what they are. Inexpensive alternatives.

Yeah, but how much do these bad boys weigh, lighter is better.

Shipping weight on a 22 inch D19 is 47 lbs. I just weighed it in the box.

I would say the wheel weighs 42 lbs. on its own.
