there are a set of 19s like Gus's on ebay for about 879, although they have the wrong model number listed, according to the magazine ad.

As for weight, I did not weigh them, I just lifted one up and was surprised at the fact that they were not as heavy as I expected, I am going to make a point in the next few days to weigh the new wheel, the Rays and the 17's to see the weight difference.

Some asked about the weights so I weighed the tires/wheels. I weighed the 17's, Rays and Ruff, then I subtracted the weight of the tires per the weight described on tirerack. The 17's and Rays are probably a little off on the light side as they are worn and probably not the weight listed, I had a differenc in the right and left rear Rays of .5 pounds as one was a little more worn than the other.
Anyway here is the estimated weight of the wheels based on the above:
17" Front 22.5
17" Rear 22.00 (probably due to a lot less tread than the fronts which are almost new)
Rays Front 16.5
Rays Rear 16.5 (both Rays are a little light probably because of the tread wear, I think they are supposed to be around 18)
Ruff Front 25.0
Ruff Rear 27.0
So basically the difference from the 17's is around 2-3 pounds (talking into acount tread wear) and 7-9 pounds from the Rays. Which I don't think is that bad considering you get an extra half inch and inch from the Rays and an extra inch and a half from the 17's. There is the info.
