Stock 220's: 23lbs front 26.5lbs rear
VMR 710's: 19.9.5x10's 28lbs front and probably 28.5lbs rear?
So.....About 14lbs with same tires. For now. :roll eyes:
Not trying to start the whole argument of unsprung weight, but from my research and reading the Car and Driver test on this same issue. I probably won't lose much in terms of 0-60 or 1/4mile with this setup. Oh well, they look good and there ordered, so screw it right?!!!
Though I will make one quick point!!!! I believe that all of the vendors need to stop saying that these wheels way 25-26lbs. It is not true and they should either post real numbers with proof or just not say (i.e post above EAS).  Good thing for me I did my research so I know what I'm getting into. |
Glad I could help. Yeah I was disappointed with the weight but now have no regrets as they work well for the track so far. My next set will be apex when I go to a full track spec tire. Some R compound. Haven't worked that part out yet.
