Numbers I saw were in the 29lbs range for the 18" CH. That's 4-5lbs heavier than 135s.

I do not agree. They are tough as fawk.
The previous owner bent the shit out of them by sliding sideways into a curb (and not telling me about it). The wheel guy who fixed them for me even said that the only reason he was able to even fix them is because they are a high quality wheel. He said cheaper wheels would've been trash-worthy at that point.

Now, they're as round and true as any brand new CH.

Low pressure cast wheel manufacturing does not equal a tough as fawk wheel. Every used set that is on the market is bent to some degree whether the person knows it or not.

Nah, the style 135 is about 28-29 lbs a piece depending on front to back, or at least they were according to my bathroom scale and my father's set.

Hmm, either way I'm going with 20 pounders! Placing the order today, hopefully pictures to come next week.

Noice. The weight reduction in unsprung weight does have a positive and noticeable impact on ride quality and performance. I love my 17 lbs ARC8s for that reason. It'll also be nice to see some other style wheels around here (especially on an already unique Estoril coupe). That's not that BBS CH and APEX ARC8s aren't great looking wheels.

Vas, wouldn't you think if the wheel is bent that you would notice this? Especially if you're at highway speeds of 70-90mph?

If you say so.

My vibration-free-at-120mph wheels say otherwise. You know, the ones that deal with shit roads every day.
