i love these rims... but the only thing holding me back from these is the weight difference. How much heavier are they compared to stock?? I want the same offset and size rims you have! I love it!

So please give me some ideas on weight...

Weight was not a concern for me with these rims. But...total FEDEX weight on PKG with both 9's was estimated @ just over 50 lbs. I will use the stockers with the stock rubber for 1-2 more track days, then switch over to a better rubber for that use. I transferred TPMS to the new ones, and will just use them for cruising. I will put up with the TPMS flashing for track days, but can't see why I should purchase ugly, lightweight wheels for the track, then use the burned out stock rubber for driving....does that make sense?

***edit***

I think the only thing I'm losing is a pair of large tires that I won't want to transfer to the stock wheels when they are 'done'...but since I won't drive like a maniac with those, they should last longer.
