Hi all,

Ohhh, the R888's are AMAZING, they're what I want to get if I ever do end up getting my TSW Mondellos.

Never shift into reverse without a back-up plan.

Those are sexy rims:)...the treadwear is 100 for these tires, read up on them you need to have them heated up for best performance, not as much as the R1A's...I still wish for slicks at 30-50 treadwear, got hooked on those last year

Oh, I know they arn't practical, but my assumption is that if I have $2600 for rims, practicality wouldn't be overly relevent. lol

I post on the Racing List for you. Here is the reply.

David - It's your lucky day... due to a recent move, I happened to know
the exact location of a box containing a pair of 15x7 lace wheels. :-)

The answer is... 18 lbs 5 oz, with valve stem and center cap. That's an
'88 GT rear BTW, but I don't think there was a weight difference between
those and the earlier 15x7 lace wheels, despite (I'm drawing on memory
here) a part number change. The 15x6 '88 fronts were about a pound
lighter IIRC.
