One thing for sure though: the weight saving is 100% noticeable when you remove a wheel, especially the rears. About 10 lbs lighter than my stock Turbos. Per wheel.

P.S. The DSC controller was more noticeable than the wheels FYI.

I have the DSC controller, that is good perspective - thanks.

Thinking about powder coating my wheels. Satin black or bronze?

Black. Bronze with red brakes and red seatbelts looks way wrong.

+1 for bronze!

Black is played out, too reminiscent of cheap plasti dipped wheels.

1st mod, get some Depot rear LED tails. Money well spent. You'll love the modern look.
