$160 for 20
That's a really great price. About $200 less than I would have guessed.

$160 to save .5oz, 1/32nd of 1 pound, per wheel? :shrug:
That's why he's driving a gt350 and we drive GTs.

I say if you got it, spend it. I don't personally, but he does.

light weight brakes is where I would spend my money to save weight to start
I don't have that option. I have a gt350. Unless someone starts selling Carbon ceramic rotors for my car. I already have Forgeline GA1R open lug wheels that remove about 10-11 pounds per wheel.

But I also paid almost $8000 to save 40 pounds on some bad ass Forgeline GA1R open lug wheels.

Actually I didn't get hosed. I got the GA1R open lug wheels 11x19 for $1205 each, TPMS sensors, 305/30ZR19 Michelin pilot sport cup 2, mounted, balanced, shipped for $7585.00
I got the wheels basically buy 3 get 1 free. Regular cost on the GA1R open lugs 11x19 are $1610.00 each. I basically paid $1896.25 per corner.

that's a little better but you said you paid 8000 for wheels, but it was actually wheels and tires and sensors, and labor. makes more sense like that.:thumbsup:

Or you could take a big dump before driving.

How much do they need to be torqued to?

Don't get what? At these power and torque levels, ounces are statistical noise in terms of the affect on power delivery. They sure look cool though.

Coming from someone who suffered through 4 semesters of physics. :)

Best,

The likelihood of your typical wheel thief having a 12 point socket is nill. I'd buy these just to have the star pattern in addition to my wheel locks. I live in Atlanta... not Pleasantville.
