if you don't care about weight then go with vx8...i was looking into these and was told they weigh 22lbs?! eek!

Also if you do plan on getting the vx8 don't buy from wheelmax, keep an eye on groupbuycenter back in november you could get a set for $550 shipped.

I doubt they are 22lbs, they're other wheels are from 11.5 to 16.5 lbs.

Thanks everyone, I bought the VX8's 2 fridays agao and recieved them this past Friday, so I got them in less than a week, they were shipped on that Monday and I receieved them Friday, they look damn good. I would deal with Wheelmax again, they were really good.
