Jucostud was laughing at me cuz I was so surprised at the weight difference.

I know a lot of people think that a wheel like mine are just some sort of status symbol thing, but really a good, lightweight wheel is just as good as making more horsepower.
I would be willing to bet that a set of stock wheels/tires with similar weight will "show" more hp to the tires then your current setup.
