I've had to repair a hand full of inners and outer barrels throughout the years as I seem to be a pothole magnet. And yes they jump out of nowhere out here. Lol

Now when it comes to their flow forged units, and after seeing the FF10s, I felt i was sold. They look very nice, similar to the stock ZL1, which I've been battling with. Unless they are lighter than the stock wheels, and although I love HRE, I can't see myself spending on them unless this is the case... The design is too close and the only reason I'd be getting them (minus the weight) ,if I were being brutality honest, is brand recognition/loyalty and something SLIGHTLY different.

Still debating over this one.
I don’t know the exact weight of the FF10s but if they’re similar to the FF04s the weight savings is about 7 lbs per wheel. The OEM wheels are approx 31 lbs and the FF04s are 24.6 lbs. The FF11s on my Corvette save about the same amount of weight over the base OEM wheel.
