What tire and wheel combination is Crandall using? That makes all the difference. If I went for 17" General Altimax HP 205-40/R17 with Kosei K1 TS it would weight 32 lbs, 2 pounds lighter than stock 15" alloys.

i dig, i dig

he's got tenzo-r somethingorothers...i think theyre 18lbs a rim and has general exclaim uhp tires in 215-40-17

i threw his RS rims on my car to go to a meet in boston one time and noticed a minor difference from my 14's to the 15's....(keeping in mind that i noticed a BIG difference between my 14's and his 17's)

but 17's sure look sharp!
