I would agree with Rich here. If they work well, and it is cheaper to just get a wheel that fits, I dont think there is enough weight difference to make it worth the money... with that said, I try to buy good parts, but I cant afford to chase records. A few ounces here or there are not my top worries.

One thing cost wise to keep in mind is if you use more than one set of tires. Then you need more than one set of wheels. I have Weld's with radials, Weld's with tall bias and Weld's with short bias. Depends what I am doing. 1/4 vs 1/8, conditions, etc. I can get a lot more runs out of bias, and if I am the only car in class, then no heads up worries, etc. Bias are more consistent in the TX summer heat. Especially if I am (God forbid... LOL) bracket racing.

Good luck,
Ken
