A whopping 4.4#/corner lighter then the stance bro wheels I had on before, and wider.

Isn't the offset is changed by machining/leaving different amounts of center material on cast/one piece wheels? That would change the weight. Maybe not so much of a factor for 2/3 piece wheels where you can choose the width of the lip/barrel etc to get the desired offset? Just speculating tho...

If you have that much power, and you don't have to worry about fender clearance, and you are making custom wheels, why did you go with 15 inch? I'd figure a taller wheel/tire combo would give even more rubber on the road, and also help with gearing.

Edit: I also do run fenders. They're not installed currently as I have to rework the mount to fit the new front wheel offset.
Second edit: Here's how comical this car looks on 26" tires (10.7@137 that day)
