That's added weight and it'll be harder to clean a surface with more friction (although I guess it would protect the wheels). Can it withstand the extreme temps the wheel sees in a track setting without adversely affecting anything?

I don't think the weight is anything substantial to be worried about....it would hardly be noticed....only a few ounces at best. Also, I think the wheels will clean up fine with a high pressure washer ! and no it doesn't blast it away...I have it on my front bumper and have power washed it many times with it not coming off.

I'm thinking I read somewhere that they are discontinuing them. I found the weights on them somewhere and they are actually not too heavy. Better wheel for the money versus something like XXR or other cheap wheels. Great size and offset for the Z as well.
On another note, my Xbox just died.

That's what I was thinking about doing since I'm not really a fan of the plain silver for aftermarket wheels.

As for the XBox... it's like 4 1/2 years old, so maybe it's that time. From the troubleshooting I did I think it's a power issue and can be fixed. It could have something to do with my little boy turning it on and off all the time.

That's what mine are, but with a +20 offset.
Here some options for what may be the cheapest 18x9.5 +30 to +38 you will find...
