Anyone weigh these bitches before they put 'em on?

How much less, what do prostars weigh? I have no basis for comparison as these will be my first set of drag wheels.

How much weight will I lose going from 18x9.5 Zo6's all around?

15x10 and 15x3?

I don't know how much less than my Prostars to be honest. I don't have a scale or I'd weigh them and let you know. But they're pretty lightweight.

I would really like to see some close up pics right out of the box and brand new before I pop for these. A clear coat would definitely be in order I'm sure.

They're really not that bad... I just polish mine every so often. Buuut, my car is a garage queen, not a DD.

275/55/15 on my car. It is lowered 1.75. Bilstein shocks and Hawk's bumpstops keep the fender lips off the tires.
