Track Wheels...Weighing it at...

...using a bathroom scale, not for accurate weight, but to judge the differences, this is what I got:
SSR Competition 18x9.5 - 8 lbs LESS than stock rear w/tire
SSR Competition 18x8.5 - 4 lbs LESS than stock front w/tire
Stockers are wearing Kumhos and SSR S03's. Not too shabby. I will post pics if anyone wants to see. Also, removed my R4S to replace with Carbotech Panther + and the R4S were almost SHOT after one event. NOT a good track choice!

Let us see 'em Dave, I for one am considering track wheels/tires.

So all in all, you saved 24lbs. from the stock set-up right? Differences in tire weight can skew your measurments...

Yeah, 24lbs is not too shabby. I will post pics tomorrow. Going out to seat the pads now and try to get the S03 ready for this weekend!
