The light greys are listed as weighing 14lb but the weight isn't listed for the silver painted ones. Is it 14lbs per wheel as well?

I would think that it is the same. As a matter of fact, I ordered a set on this premise a couple of weeks ago. They were supposed to be in at the end of April, now i see that they pushed the date back to the end of June. i might not be able to wait that long to get rid of the runflats and S-lites.

I was thinking the same thing but I was wondering why it wasn't listed. Plus, the grey and silver ones look a little different. The grey ones seem to have more holes like the universal type of wheels.

Thanks!

In regards to the number of holes on the wheel, which picture would be more representative of the wheels, the grey or the silver painted ones?

The silver and orange have smaller alignment holes - grey ones have larger holes -even though they look like universal style wheels, they are not.

Thanks for clearing that up. When are they going to be available?

Last i heard was end of June, Early July. I talked to Alex and he said this is not a firm date and could be pushed back again. They have not yet delivered any in 17x7. I cancelled my order as i need tires much sooner than that.

Bummer...

I was really interested in the RPM2s but I saw them in person on a Lexus and they were not impressive to me. Those are my next choice..and if they don't look good then I guess I'll fork up the $$ and buy a set of SSR Comps or run the S-lite and buy a pulley and ecu upgrade instead.
