How do these compare to the CCW SP500's?

Price?
Weight?
Available Sizes?

Not sure about how much people can get them for new but going off iforged website they are

19x9.5 - $1014 each
20x11 - $1213 each

Plus mine have the option chromed centers and polished barrels which adds another $150 per wheel

Weight?
Probably heavier then the sp500s? Not sure though but I think the hardware for the 3 piece wheel etc makes it heavier.

Available Sizes?
Pretty much whatever your heart desires

How do they compare?
I am a huge fan of SP500s, the reason i liked them so much was because they almost looked like the more expensive hre or iforged wheels, iforged and hre wheels being my favorite. So when I had a chance to get the real thing (not saying ccws aren't, just they were on the top of my list) I went for it.
