Stock wheel weight
Getting my car ready for the glen next week, decided to weigh the stock wheels/tires vs my track setup(19" corsas R cmpds on c4s lobsterforks). All tire sizes exactly the same, these are the gt3rs tires.
Stock front w/ bstones 44.5lbs
lobster w/ corsa 39.0lbs
stock rear w/ bstones 64.0lbs
lobster w/corsas 54.0lbs
that's a total of 31lbs less rotating mass, probably meaningless on a 3400# street car, but interesting none the less.

I think you meant rotating mass, but we know what you meant, and I find that significant. I predict you may notice some difference in quicker response to initial turn in. One of the reasons some of us went for PCCBs.

that's a total of 31lbs less reciprocating mass, probably meaningless on a 3400# street car, but interesting none the less.
