You got it........ I have to weigh everything.

I didn't weigh the steeda intake,... But it is definitely heavier than the stock one because of the aluminum velocity stack.

Be wary of "inexpensive" wheels, especially if used on a road course and with higher-than-stock traction tires (220 treadwear, R-compounds, etc).

ASK for the wheel's "load rating" before purchasing - this will give you a starting point. And keep in mind that tires with more "grip" exert more force back into the wheel. Forgeline did a video recently explaining why their wheels have different load ratings based upon the tires you will be running.

And finally, remember: you get what you pay for.

Drive on...

Jeff, your thoughts on flow formed/forged wheels? And pls name sample of your favorite brands for track use on s197 and s550.

For the price, you can't beat APEX wheels for the stang. They do fit S550s now and I will be ordering a set, depending on this job I may be getting.

I've seen Apex's absorb a side impact and finish the race, only to find out they were cracked the whole way through and still held together with only a minor vibration.
