A little weight reduction

My '90 is about to change shoes. Gone will be the combat boots (6ULs, bound for the '94) and on go the Vibram FiveFingers of the wheel/tire world.

15x8 6ULs, 36mm offset, with 225-45 RS2s, at right, weigh in at 32.8lbs per corner on the no-doubt perfectly accurate bathroom scale I picked up recently. ;)
14x7 RPF1s, 19mm offset, with 195-55 T1Rs, left, come in at 24.6lbs per corner on said scale. The place that mounted 'em got 24.8lbs, so close enough.
Should be a nice change for daily duties.

Just thought I'd share that li'l tidbit. :D

Bastage... hoarding all the good wheels for yourself. ::Good::

That's a big weight diff.

Niiiiiiiiiiiice!

I guess weight reduction is the in thing right now. All the cool kids are doing it. ::Banana::

Wow! Almost 33lbs for the 15x8's? My 17x8's with 215 rs2's are 35 or 36lbs. Now I can't remember. You will definitely notice the weight change. Very nice indeed.

The stock wheels on the Evo are 23#+. My 18x10.5 RPF1's are just barely under 20#. I'm slowing coming around to the ol' power adds speed in the straights, removing weight adds speed everywhere school of thought.

Weight wenie... nice wheels Steven
