hm...you running PS2's?...maybe that's why...I am running Brigstones Pontenzas....

HAAAA....that makes more sense. I think the brigstones weigh around 26-27 and that michellens around 22-23. So im thinkin that the ISF front wheels weigh around 21lbs without tires....that makes more sense. NOW if lexus just put a better offset on this wheels, things would look even better.....

hm...maybe...I just remember that at a the Lexus Performance Driving event, the stand showing the BBS rims said it weighed 23lbs...but I don't know if that was the front or rear...it didn't say....

Yes, mine are PS2s. BTW, when I'm running the 10 pound lighter Volks, my car is NOTICEABLY faster. Maybe it's the heat, maybe it's the rims - but removing 40 pounds of rotating mass has a noticeable difference - it breaks traction much easier. BUT, I have the stock rims and PS2s for now. The Volks are my WINTER rims (LOL).
