Re: CCW wheel and tire weights.......... (Phil97SVT)
Awesome!!!!!!!! I have'nt had the chance to see what my CCW Drag kit was weighing in at- Thats good news man. I wonder what my 17" and 18" Y2K triple chrome plated wheels and tires weigh with the runcraps on them?? If you might know or anyone has weighed theirs that would be interesting to know. What I am gaining from lighter wheels and a/c removal and the rest of my weight reduction mods is going right back in when I install my wolfe 6pt. cage so I guess at least I did'nt go up in weight. Guess I have to wait and see what the ole FRC tips the scales at when it's all said and done. Thanks for the info Phil :thumbs: Nate

If my math is correct that sounds like slicks/skinnies setup is ~50-60lb of un-sprung/rotational weight lighter than a typical street tire setup.
Cool info – thanks! :yesnod:

:eek:
That sounds very Heavy!
I spoke with John and he stated the CCW's 18x10 18x11.5 weigh in at 22-23 lbs-which is fantastic. So the tires weigh 33 lbs each-more than the rim....?
What do stock '01 polished wheels weigh with runsplats :confused: weigh?

Re: CCW wheel and tire weights.......... (Phil97SVT)
I was talking to a guy last night and he said that each lb of rotating unsprung weight = 2 lbs of sprung weight. The 70lbs weight savings in rotating weight is the same as 140lbs of chassis weight. Does this sound right?
