Kou, privat netz 17 inch wheel weight is 17 lbs and the tires are 19.............17+19= 36

(stock wheels are 15, and eagle LS are 17) that indeed equals 32.

Im not sure why some folks hate on larger wheels. Investing in light and/or larger wheels and nice tires has handling benefits especially over the awful stock tires. Its not like im running dubs on the thing.

The temp, and conditions were taken into account already in the analysis. something is up other than my wheels and tires

ps, thanks for answering my PM's
