Yes well flowform cast is very light in comparison.. The forgestars are 21-22lbs in 19s for only 1400 a set. If these are flowformed also, this could be a good find.

Taken from modbargains website:

"Weight - Forgestar wheels are also much lighter than cast wheels. The 19x8.5 F05 & F14 wheels both weigh an amazingly light 22.5 lbs, where a cast wheel of this same size would weigh anywhere from 27-30 lbs. This is a saving of roughly 5-7 pounds per wheel makes a BIG difference in regards to handling and drivability. "

the 18s are 18.3lbs... And im considering just going 18s. Sorry im not trying to thread jack, just trying to figure out how the avants are made..
