Ptimax 333 is the model...they look a great deal like the American Racing Estrella. The 333 were a bit over 11 lbs, but the tuner lug nits are about 1/4 lb lighter than the reguar ones.

I drove over 300 mile today and squeezed out a 61.7 mpg. Keep in mind that I carry at least 100 lbs of extra wt consisting of rims or tires that I sell AND deliver.
