I have to agree. We scuff off at standard wheels because they're 32 lbs while Z/28 wheels are 26.2 lbs. You're giving up all that weight loss by replacing a 28 lbs tire with a 35 lbs one, and it's also in a worse location (a rotating mass with an even larger radius).

V720 is also incredibly heavy; I wish they could manufacture it lighter : )
