does anybody know how much the stock gt bullets weigh? with the 17 x 9 chrome bullets weighing in at 25 lbs each i feel like my ride is slower and a little less responsive at times. Is this just in my head or is the added weight that noticeable?

i dont know how much they weigh, but i work in a buisness that does all kinds of aftermarket parts including wheels. it is most likely all in your head. a little extra weight doesnt really make all that much diffrence. we built a 2005 gt mustang to run at autocross events and ran just as good with the "show" wheels as we did with the expensive *** gram lights

This could be the gas you are getting. If you fill up a different gas stations, then you are not getting the same gas. Try using the same gas station for a while and see if that helps.
