The AST CompLite wheels showed up today.  They look very sharp.  I
will post pics to my website shortly.  One of the wheels had the
tape weights fall off so I have to have that redone tomorrow
morning.  <sigh>

According to UPS, the tire/wheel combined weight per corner is 41.7
lbs.  Keeping in mind that the wheel itself is only 16 lbs, I didn't
realize the 235/45 rubber would weigh as much as it did.  I don't
have a scale handy to weigh the stock slicer and it's 215/60 size
tire.

Anyone out there have other data points for their tire/wheel weight
packages?
