Also don't forget that if you are comparing 17" vs 18" wheels you need to be comparing the weight of the entire wheel/tire combo and not just the rims as 17" tires have more rubber overall than 18" tires. Also weight variance between different tire brands/models in the same size can be meaningful and IMHO 1-2 lb difference between rim designs can be offset by tire weight differences.

 

Couldn't agree more. Really diggin the Techart's guys. More pics are never a bad thing.

 

Call the guys at www.wheelenhancement.com (no affiliation) and they can provide the individual weights for these and many other brand wheels.

For what it's worth there are planty of wheel manufacturers out there with forged 18" wheel in the 20 lb range even for rears as big as 18 x 11's. They'll cost a bit, but Formulas are not inexpensive wheels either.

 

Anymore Techart pics on a NB car? Pretty please

 

DANG!
Another "want" becoming a "NEED"

 

OK THEN

Sorry forthe pic overload but I have a new Nikon D5000 it rocks as do those wheels

 

Very very nice! It looks like your camera is up to the task of capturing the best of the 993! I still love your wheels too.

OT...
I have a D90...is your 5000 an SLR as well?

 

NEVER need to apologize for posting great photos here!

We are a very visual bunch, keep the pics coming!

 

Hi Andy it has almost the same spec as a D90 but is geared up for the novice with lot of info that comes up on the rear screen

 

Thanks Clinchy...I love your car! What size tires are you guys running on these wheels? I just ordered a set from Wheel Enhancements - $2940 plus $140 shipping to Buffalo

 

Zedder...you MUST IMMEDIATELY post picts...I want to see those Techarts on your Arena red...can you guess why?

 

im running new Kerscher RS speedline style three piece wheels I just recieved from germany. 8" front at 48 ET and rears are 10.5 @ ET56. Its very agressve but they fit. I did reduce the height to very close to RS and got some rubbing when going over big dips. I have rolled the rear fenders a little (by hand) to eleminate this. Youd be suprised what will actually fit and look good. IMHO the close you push those rears to the fender edge the better they look...

check my pictures on recent threat "self gratification with pictures"

Thanks

Will do Andy...the trouble will be finding tires right now. I wanted PS2's, but they are out of stock! If I find my WB this summer, I'll sell you these wheels in the fall

 

Wow Mark......going wide, huh? Put me in the A-spot if you end up selling these. I hope you keep your NB arena though...and, the PS2's are always worth the wait. I have had them on all my cars for years and love 'em.

 

Andy, I love my options, mileage, colors, condition, etc., just wish it was a WB. You are first in line Yeah, I just put new PS2's on the original Cup wheels and really like them.
