Can someone confirm the weight of the stock wheel and tire? My 19's should only be 45 lbs if thats only 1 over stock i'm going to be really happy.

The weight thing... kind of like a dyno there are a lot of variables. I used a standard scale that i weigh my fat ass on. So i am sure it is not scientific. What it will show accurately is how they compare relative to each other. If the stock wheel and tire does indeed weigh 40 then figure this setup weighs 47 lbs.

When looking at the performance of specific set of wheels you cant just look at the weight. You can have 19's weight less than 17's but still have less performance. The reason for that being that the 19's will have more weight further from the hub center which means your drivetrain has to work harder to spin up a larger torque arm(lever/wheel) which means less power.

That being said I'd still want to put 19" S7:F's on mine when I get it. Anyone have pics of the gunmetal on Firestorm or Hot Lava?

I'm not saying I'm getting old, but this thing is already on the ground. I just want to take up a little wheel gap. a Prokit should accomplish this nicely, however I've heard stock struts have blown due to this very mod.

where did you order with tires?

One of the forum vendors on here. Eric at getyourwheels.com

Excellent service from them. They arrived three days after I placed the order.

If you're referring to the thread on here, it was an improper installation and NOT the springs that caused the struts to fail.
