last thing is the weight then ? as I'm looking for a wheel less than 10Kg and I think these are 11Kg ?
I've just weighed a wheel using some luggage scales and they weighed in at approximately 21.5-22kg. This was weighed with the tyre fitted though

The problem is that tyres can vary is weight by a significant amount, even for the same size and load rating.

Even different products from the same manufacturer can vary considerably, due to the compounds and construction.

Lots of people have looked at the weight of wheels in the past
We’ve all found that the OEM RX-8 wheels are about the lightest you can get without spending vast amounts of money
These are heavier than OEM but not vastly and do put them 12mm further out

As mentioned somewhere on the previous page, these wheels are ET38 which means they have the same stance as an OEM wheel with 12mm spacers, without the weight penalty, complexity or additional points of failure associated with spacers.

This is the same reason I chose to fit Dotz Tougue wheels on my car.

It also means that there's more clearance behind, if aftermarket brake calipers are your thing.
