Default Unsprung Weight

This thread is aimed at rims. The lightest i have seen is a 15" rim @ 9.5lbs figured that was pretty light wouldnt you say?

I have 5Zigen Division 3 N1r wheels, they weigh 12.6" lbs at 16" and came directly off of a JGTC/N1 race car. anything around there will be good.

Snap-On makes a tool to strip any and all lugnugts off a car. It costs about $160. My mechanic has one, so odds are, someone in your area does too.
