[Shotimes] official weight of a slicer?

[Carl Prochilo]

Mark,  Is the extra 0.5" that important?  These wheels I have are very
attractive and quite an excellent value IMO.  Basically the way I look at
it is this.  The SHO is one-off and anything you get special for it will
command some extra premium or will be difficult to get.  John H. on one of
the other boards has been trying for the longest time to obtain a 16x8"
lightweight wheel, and invested a lot of time doing so.  Life's too short
to be tortured over something like this, so I just look for something
already commercially available that does the job.

BTW, and I know some people put wider wheels on the front, the ones I have
are about as big as you can put on the G2.  The rears look like they can
accommodate a 245 without too much trouble and I will probably go
asymmetric to make the car more visually balanced.
