Exactly. For a while I thought, get the lighter one then upgrade the tires later. But a pair of wheels n tires alone was more than $90, then the hubs and perhaps axles and springs are still lighter. The heavier wheels don't bolt up anyway. I envisioned bent/broken axles in the middle of Nebraska at 3 a.m. and then decided to go heavy. Perhaps there is a car 5 bolt pattern that fits and someday I'll put car 13s on it.
