My AFS 17x11 ZR-1 replicas weigh approximately 25lbs. I found a website which indicates the 17x10 FM-5's are 18.5lbs. I think George told me the fronts were 17x9 and the rear's were 17x10's.

I see you have a Z28, I know with the SS package they have spacers for the rubber stops to keep the 17" wheels and wider tires from rubbing. Maybe they would help out here too.

Now that sounds like some weight savings right there. Almost 7lbs per wheel. Thats a 28lb weight loss.

Those wheels are looking good each time I look at them.

George, I met you last year at Aaron's gathering (we were in a black 91 ZR1 with Dymags).

Can you shoot me the details on the FM5's if you really want to sell them? Thanks!

John,
I ended up putting tires on them & using them to race in a street-tire class in our club
