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.

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.
