Put Light Wheels on My GS400-Wow!
I hit a massive pothole with my old Konig tantrums (18X8) and bent two of them and thrashed the tires. So I ordered those superlight 18X8 SSR Competitions and picked the car up today. That change of wheels dropped about 8 lbs. per corner I think (24 lbs. vs 16). Wow. Its light on its feet. I must add that prior to picking up my car I'd driven it for 2,000 miles on a road trip with 800 lbs. of passengers and luggage. Its tough to figure out how much that's impacting the new feeling. The guy at the tire place was blown away by the weight of the wheels. The car now just seems a lot less stressed in getting the wheels spinning from any speed. I did also have about 96 lbs. in old wheels in my trunk when it felt that great. I just wanted to let everybody how much the butt dyno measured the difference in wheels.
