I heard they're pretty good.. They arent expensive..but I'm sure they aren't the lightest wheels around.

I just got mine about a week ago. They look really nice and seem to be very high quality. I would say with the tire they probably weigh about 25 lbs? Not the lightest rim, but I also had some Arospeed RS-GTs and they were really light, but also really soft. I hit a small pothole and bent one BAD with a fully inflated tire. They have to make them light somehow.

17" exel wheels range about 21-27 lbs depending on what one u get with no tires. tires weigh 10 lbs+ each

yeah exel wheels are great for the price, i mean u can get incredable looking exel 17's at wheelmax for 699 with tires shipped. the weight really isn't that much more then other 17's. if you cannot find the weight of a wheel, it most likely not light. Also do not ask wheelmax for weights on their wheels, they lie very bad about this. i had tested 3 brands of wheels that weighed about 25 lbs each and the guy had told me they were each 17 lbs! major exaggeration.

yea i wanted to get a set of their wheels cuz they are so cheap but a friend of mine showed me some 5zigen's on another site that werent too much more and they weighed a lot less. he has them on his car and i think they weigh around 16 or so pounds.
