Weighed my wheels when I changed over from the track wheels to the normal road wheels.
I was astounded to see that I saved 1.6kg/wheel with my track wheel and tyre combo.
17x7 NCLE wheel fitted with a 205/45/17 MAXXIS MAZ1....17.6kg
16x8 FD RX7 wheel fitted with a 225/45/16 Toyo R888......16.0kg

BTW, I will have a set of the 16 X 8 wheels for sale as soon as I can get them checked for true
