I spent last night looking around and I found that good-win-racing.com 
has Konig Heliums for about the same price once you include ****pping, 
caps and rings. While still light at 15.5 pounds they're two pounds 
heavier than the Rota Slipstreams I was looking at.

This morning I called MachIII back and ordered the wheels in polished 
steel grey. I wanted silver because I know what it looks like and because 
it's so hard to visualize how these different shades of grey (grey, steel 
grey, steel grey with polished lip, polished steel grey, etc.) are going 
to look on my titanium grey msm. But they'll probably be fine. I hope so 
anyway--I'm going to have them for a long time.

One thing I forgot to ask them was the ****p time. How long did your set 
take to arrive, Lanny?
