[QUOTE="Robert M, post: 10629936, member: 9628"] Probably, they are definitely heavier than the 10's that came on the car originally, but I have also added a much larger rear tire to the equation. What would a 2" aluminum band weigh that is added to the inner diameter? That is the real weight that has been added to the wheel and the original forged Alcoa was not a heavy wheel to start with. I would suspect that a 2" wide band in aluminum around the inner diameter is not excessively heavy comparision to the traction gains of a 325 or 335 rear tire. Without traction, the rear wheel weight is not real important, because you are going nowhere in a hurry while the car with traction walks away. The set up looks massive, because it is, 12" of tread/traction surface. I should have weighed the wheel when I got it back from Weldcraft....... R [/QUOTE]
