DDMotorsports: Redline Time Attack Round #1 Results!

M.Bonanni

Well I know a 19x9 F14 weighs 25 lbs. and a 19x11 weighs 26lbs. I am guessing that the 19x10 will weigh 25.5 lbs. A 275/35/19 Nitto Invo weighs 29 lbs. Assuming that a Nitto NT05 in the same size will weigh the same, my track setup should weigh the exact same as the stock sport package setup, but with the added benefit of a wider tire up front.

Truth be told, I really wanted to stay with 19s because of the look. The goal for this car is to be a fun car to take to the track, take to the car shows, and take to the grocery store. I am not building a full blown track car out of it. If you wanted to stay with 19s like I did, Forgestar offers the best choice when you factor in style, price, quality, and weight. Sure there are 18s out there that are lighter and better for performance, but I think Forgestar did pretty good on the weight considering the size and the style of the wheel. If I get to the point with the car where I really feel I need that extra competitve edge I will make the switch to 18s.
