18x8 +45 afaik

We've sold a few sets of these. Those photos are not very color-correct for the wheels. They are darker, and there's more contrast between the spokes and the ball-milled windows.

They are pretty light-weight - and I have been bugging these guys to make them in more sizes / with different finish options.

Why don't these wheels show up on Niche's (MHT) website?

Thanks Smudgeous.

Looks like these are probably 18x8.0 +40 since those are the specs that are in the PDF through MHT's site. It's the only width and offset that the 18" wheel comes in with 5x100.

They take a lot of pride in their product. We sell them regularly and I've been happy with the quality.

I didn't find these until after I ordered my own wheels, and depending on their weight, that may be a bad thing. Tried surfing the net to figure out their weight per wheel in both 17x7.5 and 18x8, but didn't get anywhere. Does anyone happen to know the weight of either (or both)?

I'm betting they're cast and in the neighborhood of 21-23lbs due to their price range being so affordable.

Got a quick response back from someone at mhtwheels saying the 18's are just under 26lbs.
