      How much do those weigh? The first set of HRE “racing” 3-piece wheels I had were HEAVY…like 15 to 20 pounds heavier than the Sidewinder II wheels I have now. How much do the tires cost? Can you get those easily? Prepared for a rough ass unforgiving ride?

      If you drive for show, I think those look great, but trying to get those to hook up or go around a corner quickly is not likely their forte.

      They’re expensive, by the time they get mounted with tires and installed they’ll be around 12K. I had to order them, about a 4 week wait. I’m kind of a jackass when it comes to my cars so yes it’s basically for looks. I have almost no track experience. JD

      I’m looking to go with these wheels 21×13 with a 375/20/21 in the rear and a 20×10 with a 295/25/20 in the front. Am I going to have problems fitting these? Do you think they will look horrible? This was a setup recommended to me that I like. Please, I want some real opinions and criticism, don’t worry about offending me. Often times I need to be saved from myself, like when I go shopping for clothes.
