assuming that's 60lbs across all 4 tires/wheels - not per corner, right?
what's a bundle like that cost? that's the only downside is having enough wallet

Weight reduction of ~12 lbs per corner, I think? I did weight them but forgot.

If you want really light wheels look up Litespeed racing they make forged magnesium and carbon fiber. they also use a carbon fiber hoop from Dymag and stick a magnesium center.
few other company's that do the carbon fiber hoop with alumnium centers( AG - Vossen - Fordgeline ect) but litespeed is the only one I know of that does magnesium. I had a set from AG and the build quality was amazing attention to detail is insane. or if your a baller just go full carbon fiber dymag. Dymags are on all the million dollar race cars but these (AG - vossen ect) company's are just buying the hoops from Dymag and adding their style centers for some cool stuff.
only way to save weight on the tire is go smaller. probably 19s. IMO these STs need 23s but thats another topic. lol

Just pulled this set of BC Forged EH309 wheels off my ST for the sake of change. Size 10.5x22 +30 gloss black. Lightweight. I needed to change the tires so I changed the wheels also. There should be zero marks on the wheels and the wheels have never even been washed or dried by hand. Balanced once only on the inside with gloss black weights. I have them sitting in wheel boxes and planned on cleaning them up prior to offering them for sale. Great wheels for showing off aftermarket brakes.

They are $4500 new shipped. Each cut from a single cube of high strength aluminum. Custom made and takes 6 weeks.
Looking for $3500 plus shipping. I will toss in the Gorilla Wheel Locks, new red center caps and older black center caps that have small hole in cap face used to remove the cap. Would be shipped in the wheel boxes I recently received so would be packaged well. Pickup is another option.
I believe these wheels look best with a 305/35/22 tire. Lionhart has them available cheap.

I’m on day 2 with the Lionharts and I gotta say I’m not disappointed. They balanced incredibly well. I ran it up to 130 today and the cruised at 110 for about 3-4 miles and it’s as smooth as it’s ever been.
That said…if the Pirelli Scorpion Zeros existed anywhere I called that’s what would be on it. They’re backordered everywhere apparently.
