Nine Ball how much do those wheels weigh? They look nice, but I'm not really a fan of large wheels.

I have some CCW classics in the mail already. I told myself I wasn't going to change it, oh well. Went with the 18x12 fronts 315/30s and 17x13 rears 335/35s.

This same set up.

These are rotary forged, they are as light as 3-piece forged wheels. CCW classics are actually heavy, I sold the classics off of my C6Z06 and put Forgestars on it to drop weight. Classics also look kinda dated now.

I think the 18x12s are 21lbs each and the 17x13s 20lbs each. I'll weigh them again to be sure, what do the forgestars weigh?

I hate having such a small sidewall like 19s/20s, do they make them in 18's? I don't need to be rolling on blades yo'. Additionally I'd like a sticky tire.

LoL I like the classics that's why I got them. I like running a tire with sidewall and a sticky tire so I can hook at least a little.

Oh well. I can always sell them and buy another set if I get bored with them.

says forgestar 19x11 F14s are 26lbs I'll have to see what the tire weight differences are.

I don't think they look bad. They just wouldn't be my first choice. Love your new ride. Congrats.

Front 19x10 = 24 lbs
Rear 19x12 = 27 lbs

I run the 345/30-19 Nitto NT05-R drag radials on the back of mine. They hook with 800+ rwhp. No 18s available due to 6-lug. The sidewall on 19s isn't paper thin, look at the photos I posted.

Take a look at that red R/T-10 I posted above, it looks modern as hell with the Forgestar wheels on it. Hard to make those look good, nowadays.
