You might want to check your "toe-in" after installation.

Default I love your wife

I put my feet on the couch, I sleep with the dog until my mind is right. A car wheel, I sleep with the fishes.

Nice wheels by the way.

After my 130lb Bull Mastiff took over my couches, I figured the wheel to be no big deal. Plus the wife wasn't home.

P.S. Sorry about my ugly *** toe.

Those are nice wheels.

Since you've gone this far, any chance of weighing one of them on a bathroom scale? Those wheels have a reputation for being heavy, I'm curious how much they actually weigh.

Thank's! As far as weight, on the scale they're coming up 32-33lbs for the rear's (19in). Havn't opened the front's yet. The brand is "Cray-Scorpion's". "Buy Wheels Today", 1196. to my door (free shipping on cray's).

A very nice looking wheel. I have had them bookmarked for a while now on the computer. Do us the favor of shooting some photos when mounted.

Wow, that is a good bit more than the stockers, IIRC the stock 19x10 rears weigh ~24lbs.
