$460 seems high!! I payed $230 for my 17x9.5 Timeless 6's at Discount. Of course that was 5 years ago and Boyd's probably trying to cash in on his "American Hot Rod" fame. I will tell you they are light and improve your gas mileage.

Have you weighed them yet to get an real life measurement?
When I emailed american racing they said the 18x9.5 were 34lbs!!!
