Default Re: Mercedes CLK320 16" Wheels and Tires $100 on Ebay - Set of 4

And don't forget.... these things are 13lbs each. What is it they say. 1 lb of rotational weight is like 20lbs of body weight. I think the average wheel is what... about 28lbs. That is a savings of 30lbs for 2 wheels. So that is like removing 600lbs of weight from the car. Sounds pretty good to me. Now someone smarter than me can come in here an clarify/correct anything that I just said that is not correct. I am going by what I have read in here in the past, and none of this is from any personal knowledge.

Another thing that I will probably get wrong, but I believe that the Voxx 7.5 X 17" wheels that many are using for DRs are somewhere around 22lbs. So, that would still be a savings of 18lbs or 360lbs of body weight.

Am I totally off base here?
