yes, if true it would add up to the equivalent of 4 x 4 x 50 = 800 lbs of dead weight from the car just by getting some lighter wheels

no offense, Calvin, but I think your numbers are a little on the high side

whatever the real numbers are, it's still better to have lighter wheels. I own the Attacks, but I lust after the SSR's. If you can afford them - go for it.
