I just got the word that these weigh 28 lbs each...not so great after all. Thats a 4 lb increase. Does anyone know how much of a negative affect that would be?

4lbs on a rotating wheel is MUCH different than 4 lbs in the drivers seat.

I've been searching... but I can't come up with anything. I loved these ones till I found out they were anchors.

4 punds a wheel = 16 pounds. 100 pounds = about one tenth of a second in the 1/4th mile. Either way, IMO I would not buy wheels heavier then stock. However, those wheels are very nice. I want them in dark gun metal with a silver lip. =D
