Yes... They are very light (I think nearly equal to BBS rims)... Im not 100% sure, but a simple search could reveal that..

(am I allowed to tell the CEO to search?)

Send 'em an email and have them weigh one?

I can't "find it", but IIRC they are BBS light.

Oops about the r/t, whatthehelldoiknow?

What'd you do with your BBS's?

I got my pig heavy 18x9 OZ's today....(repeat to myself) "It's not a race car, it's not a race car, it's not a race car." So my BBS's might be up for grabs in the next month or two.

Weld Draglite's or Pro-Star's are cheeeeeeap, and strong.

Nice numbers man! That will be cool when you get below 15, but it's still pretty impressive to me.

AZHitman, what'd you do with your BBS's?

DOH!

Those are the ticket!

When are you looking to go back?

Be advised, my BBS's have a few dings & the finish is fading fast, but perfect track wheels...

259 miles and on low fuel? That's so terrible...

You never drive over 50 either... I couldn't get that bad range if I tried...

Again, I dont think you have the same type of driving I do... I am going to try and fix it further, rail flush and timing check, and I PRAY that fixes it for good... The o2 sensors did not give me the increase I wanted :(

Cant complain, got OEMs for $50 each!

17.5+ mpg on my last tank of urban driving in the Seattle G50. Austin one is about the same, but driven faster to keep up with traffic.
