Looks nice Camren...DEFINITELY better the other stuff you've had! 
Very light too! Can you get them weighed on a relatively accurate scale? I'd like to add the info the the ClubLexus Wheel Database...also, if you could snap some more pictures (back of the wheel and the side of the well...and maybe a 1/4 view so people can see the lip....

Get tires on them and come to the Texas meet on May 4th...
Something about your post sound strange.....
A 20" cast wheel that is 16lbs??? 20" Work Equip in Silver(not chrome) is over 25lbs. each and it is a three piece forged wheel...
Also, Ive priced Dronnell on many occassions and they were always WAY overpriced for what they are.(Alot more than $1400 for a set of four) Have you made sure that these are real? I mean is there something other than the center cap that led you to believe they are? I know that Dronnel is on the way out, so you may well have found one of the last sets going for an AWESOME price. If that is the case you got hooked up!!! Anyway, they look AWESOME! Getem on and post some pics! Tiny

heh heh yea.... 3rd set of 20's finnally got the ones i wanted (shoulda gotten something this quality before...)
i did get hooked up.... this shop on florida was closing down... and wheelmax bought there inventory... i called up wheel max and they sold me these wheels with out tires for 1400shipped
im not 100% sure they are 17pounds... but this is what i did... i took a 20pound dumbell on one had and the wheels on the other... and the wheels were lighter... and also... the 4 boxes that UPS diliverd it said 4 pkgs... 65pounds total and it said "S" next to it meaning it was weighted on a weight Scale.
So i dunno... but you guys will see them in person.
Wheels are awsome man! ill get them put-on as soon as i get some tires.
right now the wheels are at the wheel shop. so i cant take pics (sorry manaray) but i will put it on a weight scale and get the exact weight! and pics b4 i get them put on.
ILL be there for the TEXAS meet ... count me IN and i roll around carrollton (olddenton, trinity mills ... etc.) goto that new highskool creekview high which is on old denton and frankford

oh and proof that they are real or not??
they are real.
here are the things..
Center cap (obviously)
The invoice says they are dronell
The boxes that they came in are dronell with all of dronell's info and pics of the wheels on it and everything...
Dronell only makes Superchrome... and they wheels are cuperchrome.
i think on the inside of the wheels it also says "Dronell"
So yeah. they are real 4-sho

I have to check out the new Sport Compact...a lot of the wheels they've covered before were just POS knock-offs with only a few good wheels...don't need the info on the POS wheels!
Hmmm, now I'm really interested in the "REAL" weight of the wheels...
You have to remember that 20 pounds in a small package feels heavier than 20 pounds spread out in a larger package...that's why frozen concentrated orange juice packs a punch if you eat it raw!!
