Do you have the weight of these 20's? I know they are not going to be light compared to forged, but curious as I am on the fence about going 20" or 19" with any wheel I am looking at.
VE's are great value no doubt.

No i dont but most likely in the high 20's right there along with most cast wheels.

I just bought a set of these in 18" as my track wheels. Paid $1120 off of Ebay. I was wondering about the weights as well.

I can't believe the rear wheel can fit without rubbing. Effective offset with the spacer is only 40mm, and the car has been lowered by 1".

They are really nice wheels for the money. Not sure anyone makes a better wheel in their price range besides RH.

If anyone is concerned with fitment, I can share my race combination and results.

Front: 18x8 VE Zehn (45mm offset) with Kumho V710 245/35-18 tires
Rear: 18x11 VE Zehn (36mm offset) with Kumho V710 305/30-18 tires

No spacers, no rubbing of any kind. I am running Bilstein PSS9 and the car is lowered 1" all around.

The above combination resulted in more understeer because of the additional rear tire that I hope to overcome with alignment/suspension fine tuning.

Also, if I had my choice I would go with a wider rim in the front. The installer who is a very experienced mechanic and racer had a helluva time mounting the front tires on the wheels. I think an 8.5-9" rim with that much tire would be ideal.
