Black TechArt Formula 19's "Weight Watchers"
I replaced my lobsters with 19" TechArts yesterday. They look fantastic. I'll post pics tomorrow.
However, the car feels completely different. You can really feel the weight difference. I thought small weight differences would only show up on the track.
My car is significantly slower. Plus I am not mistaken nor exaggerating. The cars performance is more important to me than the looks. Can somebody post the exact weight of the TA's and the Lobsters and the Kinesis? I know its somewhere on 6speed but the search function is buggy.
THANKS.
BTW- Thanks to Arling for setting me up. Lucent is simply great.

I have the Techart 20" in black and they are real anchors, though beautiful. If they didn't looks so good, I would've ditched them long ago. It is the most frequent compliment I get on the car. Black Techart's combine well with GT Silver.
I had to do things over, I would not purchase the Techart anchors again. The Kinesis F110's are very tempting.
And yes, it is a refreshing change when dealing with someone like Arling at Lucent. Arling is the best.

Seroiously though...
Am I imagining things?...
Or has my car become a lot slower and a lot less nimble. How much do these suckers weigh? I am considering getting rid of them.
DJ- Can you put an anchor next to my lemon?

I'm in the UK and when I was purchasing my Techart 19" I looked into this thorough, The Techart worked out a kind of happy medium when it came to the weight issue. I looked at weight, looks, resilience and found the Techart to be my choice . I had my eye on another set but the weight was rediculous!
