Man those Rotoras are SICK!!! Real improvement, IMO. Enjoy them safely! I'd be looking to do the same sometime soon.
Anyone have an idea of how much these compare to stock in weight?

They are holding up great! I have noticed increased brake dust in the front but I had lots before to. I think they really give the car a hot look and would reccommend them to anyone. Vivid was great to deal with also. No brake squel or squeak. I am planning on getting the Volk SF challenge rims which will really complement the rotors! I will post pics. when i have them installed.

People say that stock rims are 21.5lb so I reckon that the proxies are much lighter than the potenzas, right?
You'll have the same setup on all 4 corners?

Yes, The potenza's are 25.9 lbs. And yes, i will have the same setup front and back. This will allow me to rotate at least front to back, as the proxies are directional, side to side is not an option. I dont feel there is a real need to increase the width of the rear tires, wheel spin is not a problem and it takes away some handling IMO.

thanks for the info!
what about 225/40/19 front and 245/35/19 rear? this way the wheels are almost the same size in diameter with stock, they differ only a few milimetres. I've done tha calculation on this site:

speedo doesn't get messed up... very small difference. I'm saying this 'cause I think 245 is way too thick for a front tire, in my opinion...
