Wheel Weight: Tire rack says 20 lb. but I haven't weighed them myself.
Tire Weight: I believe they are between 23-24 lb. Heavy, to say the least, but sticky!









I love 'em so far. No poke on these wheels, but the wheel well is far better filled in. Driving impressions: The sticker, thicker tires are certainly less squirrelly than the stockers, and the gears feel a bit taller due to the larger overall diameter. Very calm driving through sweepers, though I've not had the chance to push the tires to the limit (they've only been on for 5 hours). Will update with more impressions in the coming days.

I got myself a 17" set of these with Cooper Zeon RS3-S tires.

They're fantastic and I loved them to death. I used them on the track a few times and the plastic centering ring became deformed on the front wheels.

The folks at Axis sent me some aluminum replacements, which I'll be putting on soon now that winter is finally over.
