torque thrust 2 wheel weight

[got-a-ls1]

Are the torque thrust 2 in 17x9.5 going to be much heavier then my stock ws6 wheels? I love the look but dont want to lose the performance!!

where can i find weights of wheels?

If you cant find it on their website try asking someone selling them on ebay or something? Just a thought.

i asked the source, emailed american racing and they replied they will weigh approx. 24 lbs.

Now the question is, how much do the stock ws6 wheels weigh? where can i find that

[JDP]

i think the stock ws6 wheels weigh like 20.5 pounds

what ive heard is the 17x9.5 are 24 pounds and the 17x11 weigh 27 pounds

dont quote me on this because i could be wrong.

[got-a-ls1]

so were talking probably 15 lbs of extra rotational mass....

think thats enough to effect performance?

[CJB]

yea,

That and the burger you had for lunch.

when i put my cragar SS (steel) rims on 17x9 they weighed like twice of my ZR1's that were aluminium

[JDP]

how much do you think that extra weight would slow somebody down in the 1/4 mile?

im debating on some 17x11 TTIIs in the back or just getting some pre 2000 ws6 rims (if i can find them)

if the TTIIs didnt affect my performance i would get them for sure

I was just wondering, wouldn you rather your car look kick ass with a new set of wheels:dot: OR be able to run the 1/4 mile 1/10th of a second quicker? Hmmm....:thinkin:

:dunno:

I would go for looks over 1/10th of a second anyday.

Just my .02

My TTII's are on the way.
Replacing my stock WS.6 wheels.

Little heavier...but these won't be track wheels eventually.
