AAAA here is your answer
The offset is any where from 32 to 38. The weight is about 24 lbs. Yes I can do a discount on a group buy. All Vellano wheels any model in 19 inch is the same price as I qouted you. The standard finishes are Brushed finish w/chrome lip or full chrome finish

I could buy a set of nice (and lighter) wheels and 4 tickets to the Super Bowl for the same price. Eek.

i could buy a stage 3 w/ 5500 and justify rolling on 40lb deadweights. oh well, in most cases you get what you pay for. i really want some rennworx wheels, but 3900/set for 20lb wheels is just not in the budget. i'd rather get the neuspeeds for 18.9lbs each just over 2k

Yeah I agree nice wheel but a bit dissapointing on the weight. however, I believe thats what three piece forged rims are usualy at. I dont know them for quality and its the first time i hear their name so i thought it was worth a try. Even with like a group by the price wont be near anything else you can buy. But maybe thats why porsche and ferrari owners buy these and not Audi.
Ok now AAAA answer my question....what other wheel looks like that and costs half the price lol...im being serious

wheels that look like that, but are not half the price are BBS, Work, Volk Racing. If you take a look at neuspeeds forged rims, they are not "that bad" looking, and are half the price, and the 18's weigh in at 17lbs while 19's are 18.9lbs. Enkei has some lightweight applications you could look at, and OZ superleggeras are around 24lbs and 3xx.00 a wheel. i think rial daytonas look like that too, but not sure of the weight or cost
