Cool! From what I can recall, 20# for a 18x9 is stellar. Those 17x8 Cragar Soft8’s are close to 50# a wheel!

My 326 was much happier when I swapped over to the Superlites, which are also around 20#. Not to mention the handling benefit.
Seems like you really gotta plan out your wheel/tire package to make everything play nice together.
