Very good compared to the stock tire/wheel!

On my scale, the stock '01 wheel & tire are 62lbs. An '02 Expy. aluminum 16" wheel & 235x70x16 tire is 52lbs.

So it looks like this particular wheel only weight of 24 pounds is good. The lighter the better for rotational mass. Thanks

Bogarts are roughly 9.5lbs each... Not for street use, though.

2 rims, 2 slicks weigh the same as 1 spare and tire.

Bogarts don't come in 16" do they? I'm sure they are also plenty of $$$$$. They sure are light though.

Tim at REM has a pair in stock, I think. I have a set and they are unbelievable. 6 week wait unless you find stock as they make them to order.

I got 16x10s. They were stock backspacing, I believe. I'll double check tomorrow. I got Hoosier drag slicks in a 28x10x16. Call tim at REM and ask him about those and i'm sure he can tell you backspace quicker than I can look it up...

here they are in the back of my truck:

Bogart quoted me $335 ea for 2 custom front 16X5 wheels.. They require 2 piece billet for the Lightning. On a good note, the rear is cheaper
