Before I installed the wheels I weighed them with my bathroom scale and they showed 15.6 lbs difference between just me and me+wheel. Wheel and tire combo should be under 37lbs. This will primarily be my track setup (which I'm going tomorrow, 21st), will use the stock wheels normally (until I can find a deal on some Enkei RP03's...)
I will say I like the fit of the Kosei/Kumho combo and man what a difference in feel when driving the FR-S... with traction control all off I cannot break traction with them daily driving and the car is much more neutral. Steering is as quick as ever and the car just points and goes without any noise. Should be really great on track!

I just ordered my set
Though it would have been smart to wait until I had the car
