Must have been a factory defect. They aren't firestones. but are those rims heavy? Thinking about getting a set for the track.

I have the american racing ones and they are 15x8, I replaced a set of the original dodge rims which were 15X7's (i think) they are def lighter than the stock wheels and when my slicks are on them i can easily toss them around.

I'm sure if you go to american racing's site, it'll tell you how much they are per wheel.
