What size/offsets only weigh 21.5 lbs each? Can you verify when you receive them?

Thanks!

First post has a summary of my mods ... stock SS 1LE offsets in 19x10 front and 19x 11 rear ( front offset 23)

So, is the weight 21.5 lbs or "(weights for my sizes 22.6-23.0 lbs)", as you said in the original post?

According to Paul at PK Auto... 21 fronts and 22 rears... i pick them up Wednesday

EDIT: they've arrived

the scale shifted between 50.35 lb to 51.40 lbs

Michelin PSS 285/35R19's weigh 29 lbs

so front with air , cellophan wrap and TPMS sensors... 21.5- 22.5 pounds... give or take considering the scale....

this is the what allows you to use the stock 3 point harness effectively without going immediately to a harness bar and 6 point .....

Cant waiting seeing your wheels and tires mounted. I am considering almost same set up for those sizes so.

I was just thinking to myself that these would make an awesome 2nd set of wheels for my 1LE!!! They look sick, what is the finish you went with?!?

[aa406079]

This is the first .... and last pic of my car stock... still sitting at dealership awaiting PDI... my wheels and tires are already dropped off at the dealership to be swapped... along with a tub full of non powertrain parts...

Congrats! I look forward to seeing your progress.

Wheels were black semi gloss with a ceramic coating... to match the aero.... and to bring it all together the matte black hood wrap will be replaced by a satin black hood and roof wrap... I'd thought about doing it a while ago but I will not be the first to have actually implemented it....

Seats will be ready for pickup next week from London... then just a matter of bidding a London pairing to go get them...

On a related note... the stock 1LE wheels are absolutely gorgeous in person... will be a shame to box and ship them out... but the name of the game for this project is weight savings first... I really wish someone would release 19" version of these wheels...

Even GM has gone back to 19" wheel on the ZL1 1LE for max weight savings... the wheels only have to be tall enough to clear the brakes... anything more is just for show...

[aa406079]

New wheels and tires.... 32 lb weight savings
(Effectively closer to 64 lbs less equivalent mass /inertia)

New Kevlar race seats ... 82 lbs weight savings

Custom rear seat delete... 26 lbs weights savings

We are down from 3740 lbs... to 3600 lbs even!

(Effectively down to approximately 3570 lbs if accounting for unsprung inertia of the wheels/tires...)
