I lost approximately 5lbs per wheel including the new tire. The new tire weighs 21lbs according to Continental. My scale it weighed a few ounces less. The wheels weighs about 14.8lbs. I actually weighed my car about a month ago with a full tank. And I mean I filled up the tank a mile away from the scale. I did the same thing with the new tires/wheels. I now weigh on that scale fully loaded with spare and all with an Automatic at 2780. It steers smoother, rides smoother, looks better (subjective opinion) and handles better. I am happy with it! Not the best handling car, or the best looking FR-S but I think it is a little better than the stock. This is my daily driver so I couldn't be to aggressive. Anyways this mod worked for me. I drove the car daily with the stock tires for about 14 months and for well over 11k miles. This is a noticeable improvement.
