Am I the only one that likes the "standard' wheels?
- Thread starter Steve T
- Start date
weight:
front standard 28 pounds each - 20 lbs for optional
rear standard 34 pounds each - 25 lbs for optional
Assuming these weights are accurate; I had heard that the formula is for every 1 lb reduction in a wheel and tire combination (rotating part) equates to roughly a 7 lbs reduction in the weight of the car while in motion. If this rule is accurate a GT with standard wheels has a weight penalty of 239 lbs or a large extra passenger always along for the ride over the GT with optional wheels.
