Only a madman puts a 9lb racing wheel on a car that's driven on city streets... the first pothole that sneaks up on you, or the first curb you clip, and you may as well have lit those hundred dollar bills on fire. If you want to drop unsprung weight, just buy ATS CompLites or JAX Lights... about 11lbs a wheel, but around $100 apiece... if ya bend one, ya just buy another one.

Sure, wheels like Volk are good for racing-- they generally only last about 1 race, sometimes less-- but when your wheels and tires are all provided, what do you care?
