Total Weight Savings from WS6 rims to Pro Stars? I tried the search and it didn't seem to work, but how much weight would I be saving if I went with some pro star rims all around instead of ws6 rims?

~80 lbs if you go with 15x8 out back and 15x3.5 up front.
Not to mention the few ounces lighter that your wallet will be. That is, if you can find a set of Prostars.

Like I said, I have 15x10 Prostars on my car with a 28" MT drag radial and also have the stock WS6 wheel with a 28" street radial tire on it. I was swapping wheels the other day and thought about this.. So, I picked up one of each and couldnt hardly feel a diff in weight.
I think most of the weight savings is gonna come from the front, going to the skinnys.

what kind of 1/4 mile time difference did you all notice while swapping from stock tires to the weld wheels? Is 3/10ths asking too much with a tr224 and 3500 stall?
