Weld Front 10.4
Weld Rear 11.2
Shelby Front 12.9
Shelby Rear 14.4
Did not get a chance to weigh the new spoke wheels before the tires were mounted, this set of scales only measure to the nearest 0.5 pounds.
Spoke with sticker dry front 29.5
Spoke with sticker dry rear 30.0
Hope this helps, funny how we will spend so much to lose so little, yet eat so little to gain so much,ha.

I was trying to figure out if I could ditch the Shelby's, but that is a difference of 5 lbs. Since I have no room left for weight plates, not sure where I could replace that weight.

How heavy is your car's nose? I think the rules allow it to be as much as 60 lbs (don't trust my memory though), so it might need some fiberglass "reinforcement" to offset the loss of Shelby bulk.
