Default Got my ultra-lite wheels!!!!!!

Ok, trying to "shed some weight"...not me...my car. LOL

I got rid of my FF5's and got me some Black Pearl Centerline RPM's. Man, these weigh 12.55 LBS each wheel!!!!! I will take some pics in the AM and show ya guys. The car looks bad a$$!!!!! This is what the wheel looks like in silver.

I am running 17's again, need the weight shed off my car. I have 225/45ZR17 Falken Azinis(racing tire) in front and 245/45ZR17 Nitto NT-555R Drag Radials in rear. I do miss the look of 18's but the slowed me down by 3/10th in the 1/4 mile. These wheels make a huge difference. :-) Once the sun comes up, I will take a pic on the car.

My cost...was $300 per wheel. Remember, I run a Goodyear and get stuff at my cost. They list around 400 per wheel.
