-- I agree, the touring meshies are cooler than the reg. ones, but is the weight really that different? I am very pleased with the 17 in. g rims, they make her look mean, and I'd guess they weigh less than the originals, IDK. BTW I have a set of the reg J alloys with nice Falkens on em if anyone wants some winter wheels.

The t's wheels are about 12 lbs each while the regular ones are about 20 lbs each. That's a BIG difference in unsprung weight.

I've heard that for every pound your wheels are lighter it's like 10 pounds out of the inside of your car.

So that would be like taking a 300 pound gorilla out of your back seat.

So I went to the autoparts store, and looked at those steering wheel covers. I HATE THEM. But I did find a leather car kit, that will fix those worn out drivers side door panels
