The MBs are about 18lbs, and are $112 ea. from Discount Tire. You could get tehm pre mounted and balanced with a set of RT-615s. So far, I am getting good feedback on autocross performance for them from the Evolution list.
Good feedback on the tires, or the wheels?

Oh, and when Gary went off big at RFR, he was on Rotas... and they got hammered. I don't remember if they were cracked at all, but I know they were bent to hell.
