What do you mean by flush?

Just an FYI, SSR comp wheels are fairly light no metter the weight, I believe they are 13lbs. in "17 form. I could be wrong though.... :o

As for flush, she means like how far the stick out, being fluch has when you look at the side of the car from an extreme angle, the tires stick out as far as the flair of the fenders stick out filling them out better width wise. Also gives a car a wider wheel track stance if pushed out some. This can put added stress on the hubs though having them out too much.
