Default Interesting note for RH wheel owners....

I forgot to mention my weight comparisons on the RH wheels that I have and the BBS LM's that I had for a fleeting moment. Along with the looks, the BBS are known as very light wheels. The BBS wheels were 19x8.5 fr (245-35-19) and 19x10 rr (275-30-19's). My RH's are 18x8.5 fr (225-40-18) and 18x10 rr (255-35-18).

On the scale the BBS measured (with tires)
fr = 47lbs
rr = 48lbs

The RH's (with tires)
fr = 48lbs
rr = 49lbs

overall a 4lbs savings...not enough for me to want the wheels for weight savings
