handdoc is infamous around these parts
does look nice, problem for me is my rear BBS wheels run H&R spacers and require an extra long lug, not standard length...need to get some of those plastic lug caps

I seem to recall the entire set saves 1 lb. So, my math tells me that I save about 4oz per corner. Definitely noticable...not!
