torque thrust 2 wheel weight
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 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.

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
OR be able to run the 1/4 mile 1/10th of a second quicker? Hmmm....
I would go for looks over 1/10th of a second anyday.
