Tracking info said 61lbs for the wheel and tire but moving them around they didn't seem that heavy. Tires are 275/35 so I'm sure they aren't that light either. But I didn't get them for performance just wanted something that looked good and wasn't a black rim.

Nice! I have them in silver as well, but in 19x9.5. They are 26.4lb in my size. I think they were closer to 30 in the 20x9.5.

Didn't 285s because I wanted to still rotate the tires when needed. Plus a 285 street tire wont hold any more than a 275 street tire and I wanted all seasons in case I don't switch back to my stock rims.

Won't hold anymore? I'm confused by that statement. A 285 will give you that small amount more traction, and you can still run a 285 up front as well, allowing you to rotate.

I guess what I meant is the added traction of a 285 to a 275 would be marginal for the cost per tire, at least to me. And with 20s they really aren't going to help me go faster unless I had a drag radial and I'm not putting drag radials on 20s. Also, I figured if I want to go faster I'll buy another set of wheels and tires for the rear as I don't see my car going much faster without a tune or a tire at least.

Can't argue with that. :)

LOL! Late to the game. This just came up on googles because I'm looking to see how concave the skinny 20's look compared to the wide ones. I did the 20x11's out back and the 19x10.5's up front, but I think the car would look better with 20's all around... and a 20x11 on the front is cutting it a little close for my liking. I would have to get custom spacers and get the camber set perfectly.

Shots of the fatties for comparison:
