Thanks. They are 19s. I AutoX as well as DE and wanted to run stock sizes. They were originally intended to be just for the track but I liked the looks so much I figured I'd run them on the street. At least I have an option for the future, and lets face it, I'm a long way away from where the weight of my wheels are a major factor in my lap times........ I've got lots to learn.

Hey Ken,

No, we got nailed too. It's nice to see my spec'd car all decked out!

looks great. love the wheels as well. if i am correct, the weight savings should be 33.26lbs total (front stock are 23.7 ea vs 16.53 and rear 29.7 ea vs 20.24 at least those are the numbers for the forged alloys tech1-110's which is where gmg gets their wheels i believe). i have them on order myself.

and you will love the gt2 seats if you go there. i have them and they are the best.

That's a lot of weight for wheels, nice! Swap the A.S.S. for the GT2 seats (-60 something lbs.), add a Sharky bypass (-18 lbs.), Braille battery (-15-20 lbs.) and you've chopped 125+ lbs from the car; 33 of it being rotational.

Thanks. I'll weigh the wheels/tires tomorrow to compare. How/where did you get your GT2 seats. Do they work with the air bags?

BTW, I should mention to those that order the anodized centerlock nuts that they do not include the conical washer, o-ring and retaining clip. You'd think that for $500 bucks you would get a turnkey c/l nut. I have the other parts on order.

Suncoast, $6,500, but they don't have Alcantara inserts.

I remember you posting that, thanks! Do they look the same?

I am debating ordering them for my .2 3 which currently has the standard sport seats.
