Has anyone here looked into a wheel upgrade as a performance factor? If yes, are you confident it would clear a BBK? I'm looking for 19" minimum, 20" ideal, and only if they were strong and light... 21"

18lbs is A LOT. My wheel/tire buddy (the reason I drive to Houston for wheel work) was astonished after I posted those weight numbers. After weighing them as a wheel/tire package I am hoping to still have 10lbs saved per corner. I really don't know how much the weights/air/etc add.

I gave Forgestar the specs for BBK's 8POT 380mm/345mm kit and they said these would clear those during the ordering process... obviously anticipating going BBK of some sort in the future.

Took these quick shots after washing her up. Will post better ones as soon as I can. The X is going in for paint correction on Thurs. so that should help the picture quality.





Question for everyone... what do you think of the Forgestar center caps? I always rock OEM center caps on all of my aftermarket wheels but I'm not sure what to do with these. What say the internets?

Also, got my garage opened back up to be a 2 car again... tearing down the laundry room built by the previous owners. Feels much better having 2 of the 6 cars in there. Security system is in (and great quality too, much better video quality than anticipated) and will be installed this weekend.
