OZ Superforgiata mounted

Today I had the opportunity to get my OZs mounted. This weekend I planned on doing the Reach Out to Roll Out event but unfortunately it was canceled. Being a glass half full kind of guy, I decided I was going to hit the drag strip this weekend instead.
For all of you guys who enjoy the details like me, I weighed my stock wheel/tires vs the OZs
The stock wheels have Michelin PS2s with 5/32 tread
The OZ SF have Pirelli PZero Corsa that have been shaved by Tire Rack to 5-6/32 (My gauge is accurate but not precise).

Bad picture because it is raining and the car got dirty (drives me nuts) but here they are mounted. I will anodized the OZ center ring in the future because I don't like how the red looks with the yellow calipers.

Stock wheels that I'm going to clean and Opti-coat. Tough to tell because they are dirty but they are Basalt Black. The metallic looks really nice when they are clean and will look even better after I polish them and Opti-coat.

PS - I know my garage floor looks terrible but I am adding a 3rd bay and will be redoing the whole floor once the addition is done.

I was debating back and forth on whether I should or not. On one hand I don't just want to get a max number but on the other hand when I'm racing I am running race gas anyway....

Thank you and not yet. I plan on going this weekend, schedule permitting.
As with any other platform I've had, I will get plenty of data (vbox, video, slips, etc).

Nice setup, with quite of a bit reduction in unsprung mass at the front wheels. It would be nice if you over time you could post a write up on any perceived improvement in handling and/or steering characteristics from the 8 lbs reduction at each front wheel. Do you swap out your CLs yourself (i.e., did you buy the torque wrench)?
