I know huh.....they are selling Monoblock on ebay but that's the only size left. I'm pretty surprise that rims only weight 25 lbs...not too heavy.

I definitely wouldnt suggest it... You will lose wheel response and at high speeds your car will feel kind of unbalanced because of the width of the wheels. Optimum for 202s is 18x8, Im on 18x8.5 and thats the limit, I can feel it. Im on 225/40 and I have no rubbing issues. My opinion is to find another set of wheels. For the back ofcourse you will not have any problems at all.

They weigh more than that. I've personally weighed mine and they were like 30+ lbs, without tires!

Wow.....Over 30 lbs! So much for AMG.
I'm trying to get some light weight rims without losing my arms & legs.

should look at some 16s and 17s. 3 piece are generally lighter, but expect to pay $3k for a nice set.
