She looks mean.
I have cracked two sets of 22". They look good for shows and cruising. A lot of wheel company design wheels for looks. Remember our Gt weighs 5150lbs. GTC at 5500lbs. The SS at 4750lbs. We are not light. If you drive like the Doc, then stick with stock wheels. Or get custom forged mono blocks that are built for that weight

Guys, for everyone considering SS rims, keep in mind that they are very fragile (meaning they are MUCH easier to bend than standard rims). If you hit a pothole, there is a 50% chance of you bending a rim. My car's service history has 2 bent rims and I think I may have one already after hitting a pothole on a highway (yes, we have that feature in NYC).
Do you think they are easier to be bent than 22's?

Wait! What? Potholes in NYC? That cannot be true! 
We are so beyond potholes that term sinkholes or any other comes to mind. Specially after winter when the snow plows do their work.
As far as the discussion go, there's a SuperSport with our wheels being driven on those roads without issues. And another with the same exact setup that drove from Canada, did the full BullRun, returned back. Both on 22's ... Plus a whole lot more DD exotics with our wheels in NYC, US and worldwide, same result.

Wedge when you get to wheel ideas again, let me know! Just released a few brand new designs and got some great ideas for your car. A bit crazy to be honest, but I think you'll be cool with it.

For sure my brother. In the process of making her still classy, but even lighter.

Fenders, hood, bumpers trunk, carbon race seats, will build a lighter carbon back seats. Going to lithium ion batteries to save 60 pounds . Brakes are lighter. No spare in trunk. Got a few more tricks up my sleeve to save weight and still keep her semi classy. can't let that tech info out. The 20" monoblocks are light as hell.

18.5 lbs I think. I am going to get her on the scale and track after a few more mods. Gotta do her to her max potential as a four seater. I didn't was a rear delete version like the SS, if I did, she will be super light.
