I just received my set of Diamond Race Wheels, lightweight steel wheels in the Porsche lug pattern of 5x130. the wheels are 15" x 10" at approx 20lbs a wheel
I have a set of used radial Hoosier Formula Atlantic fronts mounted on the rims. My prior set up was cantilevered biasply slicks on a set of 15x7 cookie cutters. The cookies and canti's weight was 33.6 lbs and the new steel 15x10's and radials weight is 40.2. They were approx $150 each shipped!!!
Not trying to be a hard ass, but....
Never heard of someone bragging up a weight gain.....and unsprung weight to boot.
I was always leery of the FA tires. They are designed to support a car weighing 1000 lb or less. My AXer came on at about 1700 lbs so I was very weigh conscious......but I gotta admit, the wheel price is right. My 16X10s weighed 11 lbs ea.....not a friendly price.
.....but light weight helps all the time.
Wide wheels up front gave me an incurable push......scrub radius problems, me thinks.......cured with narrower wheels (8 inch) & cantis.
Good luck
