Ok, in order to make an educated decision on a cheap, track-only set of wheels (http://www.clubgp.com/newforum/tm.asp?m=3701489&p=1&tmode=1&smode=1#), I'm doing a bit of "web-based homework". The results of my research are being compiled and shared with RegalGS.org, ClubGP.com, MyMonte.com, NewImpala.com, Aleromod.com, and GrandamGT.com......hopefully with the help of all of these sites, us enthusiests may benefit from each other's work @ the track, and same some green in the process. Here's how it works:
I'd like to get the following information from you if you have it:
Post the diameter of wheel you have ( 15", 16", 17", etc. ), and what your wheel and tire weighs together, along with a pic of your wheel for clarification.
THIS PERTAINS ONLY TO OEM WHEELS, NO AFTERMARKET.
If any of you have any links as-to where they show the stock wheel weights of any N or W Bodied cars, please feel free to share that aswell.
Thanks for your cooperation and help,
-Eric
