i figure i was going to get them anyways for the race car, in 15X10 size for a neon, since that project was scrapped and my daily/race car are now one, 14X6 custom aluminum rims are much cheaper, and will allow me to mount some low RR tires at the same time. Current rims weigh 14.6 pounds a peice, and are shod with 18 pound kuhmo kh16s, in 196/60/14's. New rims should be around 9 pounds, and according to tire rack, bridgestone B381's are 16 pounds a piece in 185/70/14, and should have a much lower RR.

Plus im hoping for a much smoother ride with 7 pounds per wheel knocked off, since the slow lane here isnt paved that great

i think i was mostly curious if anyone had done some back to back testing, however if not i'll do some next summer when i set these up on the car
