    I took my winters off today and as I was putting my 19 vmr 710's on I figured I would compare them to the 19" from the black optics and to my amazement the vmr's were heavier by 2lbs exactly. It could be from the tires but I am guessing not :(

    If you want it to be lighter, you need the VMR 710FF.

    VMR are not light wheels, more about aesthetics . OE are actually pretty good for factory.

    If you want lighter, go with RENN RS51 wheels. less than 21lbs for 19's and it cost under $300 each wheel.
