nah, theyl be heavy, but the funny part is that compared to a Work VS XX, they will be very similar. Work is a good wheel, dont get me wrong, but they are still heavy as all hell.
Id assume about 35-37 lbs on the high side for the larger 20 inch rears.. approx 50-56 ea w a tire on it.
Will be just fine for me. Im thinking of powdercoating the centers when i get them.. maybe a dark copper/gold/bronze.. 225 to mask, sandblast and powdercoat the full set in town here. Cant beat it.

I like them, with a nice lip like that on the 526, i wonder what's the offset. I am disappointed though, not available in 19's

well, wish that was the case, but since i actually BOUGHT a set last week, i did call the manufacturer and ask. The person i talked to said they dont have exact weight in front of them, but the size i ordered was in that weight range.
I believe you and your friend are talking about 18s which would be lighter.. re-read my post. I was talking about 20s.

this has been done with 265, 275 and even 285 fronts. i'm sure you can run with a stretched tire if you desire to do so

I'm not extremely knowledgeable in stretching tires and the whole hellaflush thing cause I think it's nonsense. But I do know that the lower you go with factory components the worse your tires will wear. The factory front arms offer NO adjustability.
Buy some Kinetix brand upper control arms from Kyle at Import Parts Pro and call it a day. If you're going low enough get the SPC rear camber arms with toe bolts.
