I did. The forged wheels aren't significantly lighter, and I find them significantly less attractive. Expense seems irrelevant.Victor wrote:You took expensive J30T forged wheels off and replaced them with J30 cast wheels?
They are at least 8 lbs lighter which IS significant when it comes to unsprung weight but whatever blows your skirt up.NY94J30 wrote:

I had a set of OZ Operas on before that, but they were damaged. They were significantly more attractive than either, if a little heavier.

I agree, 8 lbs of unsprung weight at a corner is significant for acceleration and braking. I didn't take any empirical measurements, so I won't disagree, but they certainly didn't feel that much lighter.gr8scott72 wrote:

It's more like 12 for the forged and 20 for the cast. Your bathroom scale is, well, a bathroom scale. (Not legal for trade)NY94J30 wrote:15 lbs is what the forged wheel weighs on a bathroom scale. That's admittedly quite light weight. I do not, however, have a cast wheel to compare. I would guess 20 lbs, but 23 isn't outside the realm of possibility.
28 lbs, I believe is the weight of an 18 inch FX wheel. I have a set of those, too, but didn't think to weigh one this afternoon.
