Fronts weigh 42 lbs/w hoosiers Rears weigh 47 lbs/w hoosiers

Hoosier list the fronts as weighing 22.2 lbs and the rears at 26.1 lbs

That puts the wheels without tires at approx 20lbs front and the rears at approx 21lbs.

I assume you did this for weight savings?

I think it looks good but I still am in love with the stock GT3 wheels.

+1

I am going to purchase another set and paint them a nice metallic anthracite for a bit of Black Badness that contrasts nicely and compliments the GT Silver.

But I love the stockers.
