Focal wheels

Does anyone have any experience with focal wheels? They are cheap, but they might be low quality.

Not any first hand experience, but yes they are budget wheels and they are usually pretty heavy.

Is 20 pounds per wheel too heavy?

Stock wheels are 20 pounds, so as long as you don't go over that you're good. Keep in mind, though, that 20+ pound wheels are usually cheap, which means that they are probably also +45 or higher offset, which means that if you want a flush look you'll have to get spacers which will add more weight (trust me on this because I already made that mistake).

What offset for 18x8.5ish would be flush?
