So Im thinking of picking these up, they are 2 piece BBS wheels for Jags, 18x8 all around. I want to dump my 20's in the worst way possible, I might scrap them.

They are bad if you want to go fast.
Well, it's a "in most cases" type of scenario. You want as light or lighter than the factory setup. The less unsprung weight, the more power can be put towards going forward instead of turning heavy ass wheels. Generally 20's are heavier. Some are lighter. That's why I envy the dude who picked up those 17 pound OZ ultraleggeras.
I can really notice a difference between my fondmetals (HEAVY) and my stock 5 spokes.
What's considered heavy for a 20? I believe these wheels are 25 pounds each.
I've never weighed the stock wheels. But I was a little inaccurate in my post above.
The heavier wheel is detrimental in regards to rotational force/inertia. This will make your car slower. The fact of higher unsprung weight means more stress on suspension components.
Weight is more important than diameter. If I remember, I will put one of my stock wheels on a scale when I get home tonight. My fondmetals with tire weigh in at 65 pounds.
Honestly though, 25 pounds of wheel is light compared to my 19's.
Those are very nice. Will look really nice with 20mm spacers and a lowered car. Im just sayin....
Wonder how much they weigh.
They sure would. I need at least $400 more tho so that I can get tires with them. I only have 2 16inch 5 spokes with tires and my set of 20's.
22lbs IIRC from what the guy told me.
Sounds like you know how much to sell your 20's for.
22 pounds sounds good. IIRC my 19's weigh 39-40 without tire.
