If any one is curious, here are the weight differences between the chrome 5-wides and the Vintage Motorcars silver 5-wides I picked up. I would agree with Alex and the 10lbs. The tires on the new rims are slightly heavier then the Pirrellis on the chrome rims. Either way, thats a LOT of rotational weight savings! Another thing to note is the scale is a basic indoor "and I fat or not" bathroom scale, so it's probably not the most accurate...
Lets remove the argument of the tire weight deferential and give it a conservative difference of 8lb, wow that still huge and very noticeable in driving performance.
We are very happy with the results.....
Thanks for posting it, its good to have unbiased confirmation of the wheel.

Consider making a 4 bolt stock looking wheel with the 10 cutouts. That would be very nice for those don't run wide fives.
