Why? I was under the impression they were light (for an OE alloy wheel at least). Let me see if I can find the actual weight.

I agree... probably would have been a little better timed if launched 2 months or so ago. Still, I think overall the video was well put together.

~20lbs for a 17x7, not heavy for an OE wheel but I wouldn't actually advertise it as lightweight when we are talking about an enthusiast car.

The main weird part to me is the forum and the "hacking" of Scion R&D, it's just not professional. I liked the video up until that point though and thought it was very well done.

Agreed. That was sort of what I meant about timing, but overall the video would have been better without that "scenario".

I can understand if the 17'' was 16lbs.

ft86Fan 02-16-2012 12:23 PM

The forum part was clever to show us they are listening to us. LOL

OrbitalEllipses 02-16-2012 06:12 PM
Felt like I was watching Initial D there for a bit... complete with tacky music.

Dillano609 02-16-2012 06:16 PM
The visuals were superb, but I want the car now >:(

Sport-Tech 02-16-2012 07:06 PM
Kind of fun, if a little late to the game. And those seats are all wrong - no red trim. (And they look better without it.)
