Someone told me not all MB wheels are made by the same manufacturer. So I could believe it if the MB Boosts were heavier than the Competitions. As far as I know only the Competitions and maybe the Weapons were manufactured by A-Tech.

The Competitions aren't that bad though. They're probably about 40lbs per wheel with tire.

Wide tires weigh a lot....

They have a website. http://www.gtfactory.jp/cms/

Give them a call. The North American Office. There is probably a fat waitlist.

Thanks for comments!

Definitely. Planning to do it this winter. I can't put my car down during the school year, I do not have another car. But you're right, that doesn't mean I can't start collecting parts right now...

Oh and I am looking for a new power steering rack and pump...

I want to. Where do you guys go?

Negative on the spacers.

Wheels are 17x8 +22, 17x9 +27. I am planning to run a +10/+15 on the fronts though. Make it a little more flush.
