I love them, they look hot, wonder how they would look on a white one
Do you know if they have a similar rim with somewhat of a lip ?

Doesn't have to be an enormous lip

Let me know

Mike

Well I guess I could live without a lip, if I can shave off almost half the weight compared with stock

Anybody knows how much the 20" are running per set ?

16 pounds for the front wheel and 20 pounds for the rear wheels. I know I weighed them to check!

More pictures to follow. It has been raining all weekend here in Tulsa! Good question on the wheels. I struggled with this for a while and just decided that there was lass chance of any issues keeping all sizes stock. I have done quite a bit of upgrades to the car (including a 610 hp Stage 4 EVOMS upgrade) and so far NO issues. The car is a joy to get in and drive. By-the-way, I got the wheels because less sprung weight equates to better traction especially under hard braking and acceleration and in turns. I was shocked at the magnitude of improvement in the ride. WOW! I shoed these wheels with Michelin PS2 tires, and the combination has made the car considerably more compliant and comfortable to ride in. I never dreamed lighter wheels could make such a hugh difference in the ride. This is something folks will have to experience first hand before they believe what a difference the weight of the wheels makes to ride comfort! I could tell the diffenence in the first few blocks after picking up the car.

I will be adding acceleration times form the dyno when we fit these. We too are looking for the delta with the unsprung weight.

What tire size did you go with Mike?
<O
Anyone looking at these wheels wll not be disappointed. I can not describe the quality in a post nor in a picture. If anyone wants details please contact me directly and I can help sort size and fitment questions. <O
