i dunno how much the twists weigh, but 17x7 oz mito are supposed to weight 27 pounds. OMG pig!!!
yer gonna be so much slower on those heh. u'll prob feel the difference.

get some nice lightweight ones, like volks or bbs. wheels shouldn't weigh much more in lbs than their diameter. my summer wheels for my acura are rota subzero's. 17x7 weigh 16.5lb's if only they made that in 5x130
