Thought I'd pass this info along for those who want big, yet lightweight wheels. The pricing isn't bad either, and they offer a decent amount of optional upgrades to the actual wheels like powdercoating, paint w/polished lip, etc.

That 16.5 lb one in chrome on a t-red (like my car) would look HOTTT 
EDIT: [censored], $1,288.28 shipped!?! Ouch. I guess you gotta pay to look good. I wonder how strong they are (resistant to bending and such)?

Their prices are in line with many other reputable brands. 
Deciding between the AM and A5 would be a *very* tough decision. Thankfully I don't need new wheels (whew!)

In retrospect, it was all downhill from here. RIP, CEG.

I suppose you're right. Back when I was looking for rims for my 98 I was on a tight budget and spent less than that on rims and tires and tax  I now know that they're pretty heavy since I know a lot more about rim/tire combos and whatnot

Actually, $300 p/ wheel for a performance 19" wheel is cheap.
Avus
Boyd Coddington
CCW
Forgeline
Fiske
Foose
HRE
i-forged
J-Line
Boze Forged
Work
ZE Forged
Wheels in 19s can run upwards of $2,000 per wheel.
Of course these are made to order forged wheels - hub-centric, custom drilled, your spec offset, choice of finishes/color, etc.
