Is that the "black" wheels?

They look like they can use the same splined lugnuts I'm currently using.

How much did that wheel end up weighing? And can these be daily driven?

Per Racestar's website, the 17x7 weighs 19 lbs and the 17x9.5 weighs 20.5 lbs. It was also stated in this thread that these wheels are sturdy enough to be driven on the street.

From my research, most front street tires will be in the 25-30 lb range, so we're looking at approximately 50 lbs total. My stock 20s and 275/45/20s weigh 75 lbs.
