BUT it’s the budget way around spending thousands in fikse or ccw wheels.
Marshall-will you approve my aluminum rear diff cover? I'm not aware Marshall was ever a CMC director to my knowledge to give "approval"? I'm pointing this out more because I get uneasy about anything that needs an "approval" since it's likely pushing the intent of the rules or possibly worse.

I agree with Tyler and any others that modding a wheel is a potential safety issue.

Wheel weight rule just has a better benefit for the Mustangs with the Enkei wheel option unless there is a wheel under 18 lbs for the F-body that ins't over $2k for a set (though I sure like the looks of the CCW). There are all kinds of advantages/disadvantages for each platform.
Sook-send it in for rule change request in our now non-existant silly season to get it approved to lower the wheel weight since it improves safety, lowers cost, and doesn't impact performance since people were already running the Enkei. Heck maybe you could get the rule changed before hand instead of a nod/wink approval.

I also agree with DAlgozine that it seems to be a goofy loophole that shouldn't really be in CMC. But then I'm checking to see when my custom Ford 9" with aluminum center section is going to be delivered so I can get it installed before nationals because my aluminum diff cover with a drain plug is illegal. Just doesn't make sense to replace it with a stock cover when for $3,800 I can get a stronger diff, better posi, and nearly unlimited gear options. Only downside is I have to order a new pair of CCW's for the different bolt pattern.
