I think the front CCW's will be lighter than my thin spokes and would have to pick up ET based on the weight difference and less rolling resistance. Trying to fnd a tenth or so.

16x10 ccw classic with 26x11.5x17 is 38.5 pounds. tire weight is 24
wheel weight is 14.5
17x5 racestars with 26x4.5x17 m&h bias play front runners is 27. M&H doesnt list tire weight.
my ccw fronts are on the car. i'll weight them next time they come off. i'm also mounting a 26x11.5x17 on thinspokes today once my thin spokes get delivered, so i'll post that weight too.

My CCW 16x4's with Firestones weigh exactly 33 lbs each.
And my CCW 16x10's with MT ET Streets (16x11.5) weigh 41.2 lbs each
This is why I'm going 15x3.5 Bogart D10's for the front

So I'm guessing with CCW classics over the OEM thin spokes I'll lose at least 35 lbs. in the front and pick up even more due to rolling resistance over the wide tires on there now.

I have the GTO spares with M&H bias ply skinnies.
I also have thin spokes with the Hoosier DR's on them.
I can get weights for that setup if you like.
I'll need to go buy a bathroom scale though, I need one anyway.

Thanks Ron. That will be great! I've just bought a set of CCW Classics from Jeff:

I hope they arrive Thursday or Friday; we leave for Super Chevy at the Motorplex early Saturday morning. I was thinking a set of Bogarts but I couldn't completely say that I loved them and for that money you better. The CCWs have to be lighter than my front thin spokes and full size tire and there also has to be some ET gained from less rolling resistance. Those front tires are WIDE!

My CCW wheels/tires should be here this afternoon. I'll weigh the OEM thin spokes with Kuhmo tires vs. the new ones and post everything later. Hoping to cut 60-70 lbs. of reciprocating weight. Not as much as with Bogarts but still better than OEM.

CCW drag pack arrived; got it all changed out.
Front OEM thin spokes with Kuhmo tires: 46 lbs.
Rear OEM 17" thin spokes with MT DRs: 48 lbs.
Front CCW Classics with Firestones: 32.5 lbs.
Rear CCW Classics with MT ET Streets: 40.5
Total weight savings of 42 lbs. All reciprocating weight and less rolling resistance on the front.
Cold front coming through East Texas today. Current DA at Ennis is -235'. Yesterday, that's NEGATIVE DA! They're saying it will be the same Saturday morning.
