I think $450 is a pretty good deal for nice wheels. That comes out to $112.50 per wheel no tax. look on retail pricing to see if you are getting a deal on them or not. I would suggest lookin at Discount Tire to get their price. On their website they run $128 per wheel.

If I was you and were budgeting for wheels and looking at those.... I would walk up to the guy with $400 cash and tell him to take it or leave it. Since there's no matching 5th Spare.

As to your question about them being heavier, don't worry too much about it. As long as you aren't jumping too much in tire weight you won't feel a difference.
