RE: 19" RS4 Replica Wheels... they weigh 35 LBS!!!
After my inquiry, I got a phone call from Tony@performancealloys.com (The owner) in Ireland.
It turns out the 19" RS4 wheels are MUCH heavier than they had originally thought.
Tony did say that they were going to decline their shipment on the wheels and have been advised that the manufacturer will be doing a new batch with a different castign process.
So, as it turns out, these wheels are BOAT ANCHORS!... Yeesh.

I got about 35lbs for my Lowenhart LD1 (in box w/o tire).
When I shipped the OEM 15" w/ tires as a pair in one box, it weighed about 77lbs. So that's roughly 38lbs ea. (wheel & tire). I do not know the weight of my Nitto NT555 235/35-19 tire though.
