The stockers are pretty heavy. An older set of HX wheels is the way to go if you want factory. They're super rare these days.

I'm assuming they beefed up the wheels because the cars are heavier and if you tag a pot hole they don't want the wheel breaking apart and you crashing the car.

My Heliums are only rated at 500kg a piece. So 1,100lbs, and given a curb weight of 3,500 I'm not in the "danger zone" but close.
