However, there are no off the shelf, other than custom $$ GM 17 x 9.5 wheels that weigh any where close to 16 lbs or 18lbs with the proper spacer, Or 18lb that have the proper offset. They don't exist. Closest a GM car gets its about 21lbs with a needed spacer.
Right, same as today, ford can run a 16lb with a 2lb spacer and perhaps sacrifice the integrity of the wheel. I would hate to see a wheel fail and take out 5 cars going into T1 just because you have to compromise safety to make it legal.
