How much do they weigh? I weighed my front 17x9s today and they were 52 pounds each with 275/40s I really want to get some skinnies on the front, I would think there might be some time to gain there, especially with it being unsprung weight. When I went from stock 16x8s to the 17x9s, I could feel the car get slower, which is part of my reasoning. What kind of ET improvements have you guys seen with the addition of front draglites? thanks

This site has the prostars weight, but not the draglights, it will give you an idea of what most everything weights

Thanks again to Brent!http://www.bfranker.badz28.com/fbody/weights.htm

 

my 15x3.5 Pro stars with 165 dunlops weigh 24lbs each
my other 15x3.5 Pro stars with 26x4.5 goodyear front runners weigh 22 lbs each

i also have a pair of 15x3.5 Draglites with 165 Futuras, but havent weighed them

 

That is a good page Brent put together. I understand the 100 lbs=1/10th in the 1/4 rule, but I believe it would be different with it being unsprung weight, not to mention rotating mass. Shouldt the affect of removing 25 pounds off per wheel be more than pulling 25 pounds worth of , say, seats out of the car?

 

i dont know what effect unsprung bs sprung weight makes, but in addition to less weight, the skinny front runners will have less rolling resistence.
