IMO, go for lighter wheels or stay with stock wheels (unless boosted)
I agree, if not boosted wheels should not exceed 21lbs (since stock are 20)

All wheels at that price range/size weigh 21-25lbs.

Did you happen to weigh them before putting on the tires and mounting? Also, what size did you get? Looking forward to the pics.

Stock suspension with the 1.0 which includes TRD lowering springs. There is a very slight poke. I'll try to get a better picture.

If you could try to capture the poke, that would be awesome!
