Take a look at the published weight before you buy. If memory serves the "Formula" is not a very light wheel.

That's why I fill my tires with helium.

Thanks for the weights...I thought they were pretty heavy, but they do look great!
I wonder what the raw weights are though...if you were going to compare them to other 18" wheels which are ALL heavier than 17's how much heavier do the Techarts come in at....hmmmm?

for instance
BBS
MY02 996
8x18 996.362.036.03 ET50 20.5#
10x18 996.362.140.03 ET65 22.7#
compare favorably w/ say
964 Cup1
front 7x17 20.46
rear 9x17 25.96
considering that they are a wider and more capable wheel
you can feel the difference of ~10#/wheel, but for street use I wouldn't worry about it and there are lots of track guys that don't worry about it either.

I think for my purposes Techarts or similar would work fine since I track (DE)twice a year, maybe.

Right, your point is well taken...I think what I meant to say is that perhaps a "typical" 18" street wheel is heavier than the same wheel in a 17" simply because it is bigger...but this is a big can of heavy worms!
