On my way into work I decided to visited my local post office, one word DAMN
My local post office has a scale in the lobby and the lobby is always open 24/7 for those who need to get to their PO box
Ever since I got my wheels several years ago I've always wonder how much they weigh. Well today the guess is over. These MF's are heavy compared to those **** ase light weight wheels you see in the tuner magazines.
For the pass year+ I've been rolling with the stockers and loving the get up and go response. And since I'm planning these Cobra rotor install I'm gonna have to re-install my 17's to clear these rotors.
When I was rolling with the 17's and stock brakes I didn't think I lost that much throttle response down low due to the extra weight of the tire/wheel combo, but putting these suckers on a scale and knowing how much they actually weigh is putting a sad note in my mind. And then to add the weight of the Cobra rotor isn't helping much.
When this is said and done and I've worked out all the wrinkles with the pending Cobra install I think I'm gonna have to flip the bill for some light weight wheels and 2 piece OEM Cobra rotors
How much they weigh you ask, take a look-see
These are the wheels I'm refering to
This is what they weigh
I happen to weigh a Cobra rotor while I was there
And this is what a load Z32 caliper weighs
FUN, FUN, FUN

EDIT
Ok I see what you're saying, at times the pics don't come up for me either. Well I didn't want to do it but you can look here for the pics

Don't you hate when someone post a link to a link to a link
I know Cardomain allows externally linking but this stupid PC I'm on doesn't allow me to link the full image from Cardomain. So I had to use my stand-by website or wait to I get home. Now back to work
