Default Heavy wheels

After looking at all the wheel options that appeal to me, they all have one thing in common - they're heavy!

'18 GT500 = 31lbs
'18 CTR = 29lbs
'18 DD Bullitt = 29lbs

I guess with my stock 17's weighing about 26lbs, it's not a deal breaker, but I was hoping to hold the line on weight.

I'm very surprised the GT500 wheels are that heavy. I was watching the Limey review video and just thinking to myself that I don't really like the look of them much, but I figured that the reason Ford used them was because they were lighter than the other offerings.

Well 2lbs is probably a deal breaker to some I guess. I happen to like the GT500 wheels alot. They are a nice derivative from the Ford GT wheels.

Steeda has some ultra lites, and the chrome ones (18 X 8.5) only weigh 24 pounds. The alloys probably weigh 2 pounds less.
