[Shotimes] official weight of a slicer?

[Zach Leahy]

245's fit all the way around....  not easily, but they do.  BTW,
kazera has a series of 17" wheels that IIRC, are about 17-18 lbs each.
 At I beleive 130 bucks a whells they are a good deal.  7" wide
though, have a set on the 93 with the 245s.  BTW, these appear less
bulgy than the stock wheel and a 215!
