...And let me get this straight - the new standard for acceptable race wheels is "the 8-10lb range" - for a <strike>steel-bodied car</strike> fat-assed street car with essentially stock suspension?

Scot - you keep saying the same thing over and over, but it doesn&#39;t get any more compelling. Please don&#39;t let the fact that I&#39;m not arguing this anymore suggest to you that "you&#39;ve won." [/b]
Ditto here...

You picked your <strike>ride</strike> class and inherit all of its good and bad points. You get a <strike>lower polar moment of inertia </strike>choice of cheap cars. Yay! Wheel supply for your chosen car&#39;s bolt pattern sucks. Bummer! [/b]
A couple little edits...

In the end, I guess it&#39;s an agree to disagree issue...
