Was there a correction to how much the sport wheels weigh? Also what is the weight of the 18 inch base wheels?

Hotchkis sways definitely weigh more than stock bars on the Z/G. No idea how much though

I might have missed it, but has anyone ever thought of removing the sound damping material and seeing how much weight that removes?

I know there have been a few mentioned. I can't remember the models but they are made by Braille and Optima as well as a couple other manufacturers. The ones that were recommended for street use generally weighed around 15 pounds.

As for the sound damping i was expecting more than that, but it's nice to know that there isn't too much weight there.
