Here's the color I'm pretty sure I will try and get close to:

 

the second pic is gorgeous

 

Thanks...that was my photoshop version trying to find the color I like. Next step is to take that with me to the store and get a color to match. Probably gonna wait till this weekend and then make it happen.

 

2lbs is alot of wieght from a rotating/unsprung source.

 

Well I dont know if its in my head or if its a big enough difference to notice it in the acceleration. But after some spirited lunch time driving to confirm what I kinda fealt this morning...it does seem like the acceleration has improved somewhat.

 

my acceleration improved alot when i went from 28lb 17s to 10.8lb 15s.

 

28lb's...just the wheel? that seems really heavy...what kinda wheels were those?

 

ya 28pounds must be the whole tire and rim..... but i dont think the new rim/tire only weighed 10pounds... maybe just the rim...

 

The rota grid (15x6.5) with tire (195/50/15) = 31lbs on my cheap scale at home. The speedy lite-6's (17x7) and tire (205/40/17) =33-34lbs. but again that was a cheapo bathroom scale..(its all I could find...but I knew I could at least compare what I had to what I got whether or not the actual weight is correct)

So yeah 28lbs for just a wheel seemed heavy, but when 10.* was mentioned for the knew ones I thought well I guess it is just a really heavy wheel. Spokes filled with lead or something

 

well rota's are pretty light. For example, my wheel, without tires (a 15x7 wheel) weighs 25 pounds. They were on the car when i bought it...i wan't some slips or grids...
