Here are the wheels weights from one of the many sites selling Forgestars (never mind that they're actually pressure cast wheels):

Weight specs:
19x8.5 Approx weight 22.5 lbs
19x 9 approx weight 24.1 lbs
19x10 approx weight 24.7 lbs

These are actually pretty decent weights for cast wheels. There are now so many cast wheels available in the market place at $1,400 for a set of four price-point, or even less, that it's getting harder and harder to choose.

Are these hubcentric, or if not, what sort of adapter rings and/or spacers to they use?

4 wheeled car.
Rides better than 20s for sure. It feels more solid than the HRE or any other multipiece wheels I've had (for the exception if the VS-XX). Could be that it's just in my head but I don't fear pushing the car with the 19s. It also feels a tad faster now. Overall I'm very pleased! Let's see how long these will last :P

as for those who ask about the price, it's 1400 to 1600. Tires depending on brand and model are about 800-1200. So a little over 2 grand it looks lime for a set. For those of you with TPMS these wheels are compatible so that's a really nice plus to me!

Not hubcentric. They use hubcentric rings.

I like them. They look EXTREMELY similar to Audi RS4 wheels, IMO. Well, if RS4 wheels were black, anyway.

They do look similar to the RS4, but in person, they do look quite unique.
