Didn't say I disagreed. I love them

That's $400 you can put toward better rubber. However, for the quality and weight you get with the Apex, the price is very, very good.
I'm real fond of the drop in weight. Every lb shed in unsprung weight is 4-10 lbs of sprung.

OEM wheels weight...what? 25lbs IIRC?

Go to an APEX 17x9.5 weights 17lbs...that's a drop of ~128 pounds on the low end and ~320 pounds on the high end, and ...not counting the weight savings in tire.

You'll notice that.
