Default DUB wheels?

I saw these DUB "firewire" custom painted rims. I was wondering about "three piece design" and I could not get any weight info. They look cool though. ?

I mean typically 3-piece forged wheels are pretty light, but I don't know because those aren't performance oriented wheels, so they might be heavier than comparable forged wheels like CCW or HRE, etc.

Here are a few links & Pics of C5's on 20inch rims aka Dubs & I don't see Chains or a Black guy linked to them???? Just curious why the Link to Hood guys or Black guys if you want 20inch rims on your C5? Both of these are owned by white guys? Are they Ghetto as well??

I think the term 'dubs' is what conjurs up the image of gutter trash driving around old beat up crown vics with giant wheels with dollar signs on them. I'd say those two corvettes you showed pull off 20's quite well.

I thought "dubs" were 22's, not 20's. Who knew.

But I do think the OP meant DUB, the wheel manufacturer.

I looked up the design the OP was referring to. It's actually not completely trashy. When I glanced at the page, I think it said the smallest size available was 20" though.
