Tell the LPE guys to save you a V8 diff... You're gonna need it

Sounds like you have a nice build coming along

True. But I'm just a little weary about changing wheels only for weight reduction now that I've seen the actual weight of stock wheels. Either way Aby's choice is great. I like them!

It's going to look great Aby! And at the risk of Hijacking your thread....I would also like to thank Doc. He's been a huge help to me as well!

Thanks everyone. It will be nice, it removes 28 lbs in wheel weight and 16 lbs in tire weight for a total of 44 lbs. The new exhaust I put on today removed another 38-40 lbs from the car, so I'm very happy so far.

My bad Aby and Doc.

for some reason I thought the numbers I got were in pounds.

You guys are absolutely right. Please excuse my brain fart.

Here are the the stock weights for all the wheels. For those still interested.

No worries at all Milk, this stuff makes my head hurt, that's why I'm so excited this part is behind me!

Zebra if you are at the fest in April, I'll let you drive the car if you want to!
