trying to keep up, can only stop back once a day or so bro.
anywho 18x8.5 weighs around 23~24, 19x8.5 would weigh about 1.5lbs more.
remember these are CAST 2 piece wheels, for a lighter wheel you would have to move to forged, like the meister and such..
as far as TPMS, the wheels must have the TPMS banded inside the wheel (local mounter should be able to do this, a strapping band and a clip.. they sell this stuff as a kit.. the tmps then gets strapped into the mounting dip in the wheel, in the back hoop. some wheels you can drill and use the tpms stem as the original but that only really works on some monoblock wheels... other wheels if you drill them and try and mount the TPMS as a stem in the back mounting dip.. regardless how well it is done, it will leak because its not made to be there.. i personally reccomend putting the tpms in the spare or in a "pipe bomb" in the trunk, because regardless how they go in aftermarket wheels, theirs always a problem somewhere.

They're not exactly cheap wheels, and like I said, I am already taking a loss.
Besides, Advan wheels are cast, and you don't see people complaining.
I think these wheels are sexy, but everyone has their opinion.

actually for 19", they are pretty light.
and I believe the barrel are cast spun, the face may be forged.
but regardless, they are on the lighter side for 19".
