Sport Edition D3 rims fit with 205 width tires

I bought the Sport Edition D3 rims with Hankook W300 Ice Bear tires, and they fit fine on my CDE model. People posted some questions on them so here is what I have learned:
Offset is 38 and the fit is tight in the rear with the 205 width tires, but no issues. A 215 or 225 width tire is not likely to fit without a spacer. There is a handy offset calculator on the web, just google for wheel offset calculator.
I don't know the rim weight, because they arrived with the tires mounted. However, the total weight is 40lbs, same as the used tire on the original 15" rim.
They come with an adaptor to make them hubcentrick. Also, that cheese logo is actually a nice mach to a black car.
They are made in China. I consider them adequate for a winter rim, no vibration at higher speeds.
My reason for going to a 16" rim is to have the option to convert to the Abbott 308mm break package. Although, I still have some homework to determine if the inside diameter is has adequate clearance. I will be putting them on my CSE over this weekend and if there is a problem I will make a post.
