15 X 7 Fuch are 11 lbs on my bathroom scale. Cookies are 12 lbs.
Both are some of the lightest production wheels one can buy. Trick 3 piece wheels can knock a couple 3 lbs off that.......bring money if you need that extra half tenth second. |

QUOTE(J P Stein @ Mar 26 2013, 08:26 AM)  15 X 7 Fuch are 11 lbs on my bathroom scale. Cookies are 12 lbs. Both are some of the lightest production wheels one can buy. Trick 3 piece wheels can knock a couple 3 lbs off that.......bring money if you need that extra half tenth second. Well, the Revolutions came in and I already have the Hoosiers mounted. They sure fit on the rim better than the 5.5s. I didn't notice it before but the Hoosiers on the 5.5s were hitting the inner fender well pretty hard, so I have ordered 1/4 in spacers and longer lug bolts. Had to roll the outer fenders a little more. When I get everything back together, I may have to work on those fenders again. I got my rear coilovers with 225 lb springs and will install them tomorrow. I have the front suspension apart waiting for new polybronze bushings. The PO installed 22mm torsion bars at some point, so I will leave that part alone. I will play with the camber a little. I have an appointment for cornerbalancing on the 9th. So, since my last AX, the only things I will have changed is wider wheels, the rear spring weight, a little more neg camber in the front, new suspension bushings and a corner balance. That shouldn't be too much of a change, do you think? By the way, the Revolutions weigh 20 lbs, which is 6 lbs more than the Fuchs. I can sure see were a guy can dump a ton of money into this stuff, just like JP and Chris alluded to. Oh well, it sure is fun! |
