Same deal with my JGP 20's, I love the way they look but they're like having 4 anchors in each corner...I never weighed them, but I'll bet that they're about 85lb with tires. The difference in the feeling of the brakes alone is an indication of how much they impede performance.

Thanks TIM! I love P&F, and so does Rosie! I got her a "transforming" Perry the Platypus, that turns inside out from Perry to Agent P

Lightweight wheel selection for GM any truck application sucks!!! Centerline is the only somewhat affordable option and most of there wheels aren't all that great. Nothing exists that resembles a factory SS wheel....

IMO there is a market for something like this tho, I wish a wheel company would recognize the lack of offerings here and step up with something.

This thread is over a year old, and you bumped it to point out a random thread (which you didn't provide a link to) about TBSS wheels???
