So me and Mrglynis (sp?) took her out.

Mrglynis is from Charlotte, and came to Charleston to buy my wheels....THANKS !!!!!!!!......and we took her for a spin....well needless to say the lighter weight makes a HUGE difference...I have chirped 3rd gear before, but not a full 1/2 rotation, and with another passager.

YEEEEEEEEEEEE HAWWWWWW

This is gonna be GrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrEAT

Those are sweet.

Some questions.
What is the width?
How much do they weight?
And if you don't mind, how much did they cost?

7.5, or 8.5

14.5 lbs in the 7.5

cost...Tirerack.com....or visit your local performance shop for prices.

I checked my local shop...R&D performance. I got WAY below the tirerack price, delivered pricing....and installed.

nice rims.

I guess this means you'll be driving more, which means I need to drive more so you don't out-mileage me.

Ummmm, a redneck friend of mine up in Charlotte helped me a lot.

Oooops. The guy decided to drive down yesterday afternoon, he is taking the day off today (friday) and spending it in Charleston. Worked out pretty good. He has a nice 99 GXE 5 speed. Its white, soon to have some nice 17's.

Sorry I forgot to call you back....I'll call you now if you want me to.

Ummm I don't think so. They are a lot lighter, I will get better mileage. Plus, i think my rps are lower by a point or two.

I will let you know, Ive got to fill up today.
