Default My polished acura tl rims...What offset/weight? Comments?

I bought these from some guy and they were in pretty bad shape. The clear coat had chipped off in many places and their was allot of corrosion on them, not to mention some light curbage. I stripped them, sanded for days then polished the crap out of them. I then had to tape off the spokes and re-paint between the spokes. I spent probably 5 hours per rim. I think I'll cry the first time I curb them. Came out looking pretty sweet. I plan to throw these on my 96 accord, just ordered some kumho 205/50/16's for them.
I was wondering if these had any special name, and if anyone knows how much they weigh or the offset. Comments?
They look soooo much better in real life. I couldn't get a good picture in my basement.

So you have the wheels in your house, with no tires on them - right?

If you have access to a shipping type scale, you can weigh them yourself.

If you don't have access to a shipping type scale, most people have a scale for weighing themselves (people) at home. So weigh yourself, then weigh yourself holding one of the wheels. The difference is the weight of the wheel.
