New Wheels!!!

Yea, i'm a little excited (isfh). My new Weds Sport wheels came in today (go on tomorrow. Here is a teaser and the reason why i had to get new wheels) Some lady on Storrow Dr. in Boston literally ran my brother off the road a while back and i could not track down any replacement TD Pro Race 1's in hyper black.

OK, I gotta know:
How light is stupid light?
What size are they?
How much did they cost?
Where do I get some?
They are very cool.
thanks

Good luck with such light wheels on such bad roads! I like the Weds a lot, especially in white. I just ordered Compomotive wheels to deal with our roads in the Boston area.

I love those wheels and $309 each is a great price! I was trying to buy a set four years ago when they were much harder to come by.....I "settled" for SSR Comps (my second choice).
