Daddy likes the wheel.

Are you keeping the interior parts you removed? Looking for a driver's floor mat and possibly the hand brake console surround.

How's it drive with the new wheel and less weight?

How much weight do you think you saved?

I already threw out all the interior parts, they were pretty much trashed anyway. The weight reduction definitely makes a difference. Just slightly more acceleration, the ass end feels a lot lighter, but I wish I could take some weight off the front, as it seems to push a little more now. Its kinda hard to tell anyway, since its got like 165 wide snow tires...lol

The wheel is great, basically stock diameter but feels a lot better, and looks WAY nicer than the ugly ass 2 spoke stock one.

How much weight did I save, I don't really know, I'll estimate about 150lb total, I also removed the AC compressor, condenser, lines and pretty much everything non-essential under the hood.

we weighed everything we stripped out of our sedan and it was around 135. we left the door cards on the front doors and kept the headliner and the trim on the a b and c pillar as well as the rear package tray.

did you take those with a camera phone?

Cool. I know when I changed wheels the communication with the road went way up, too. Get some decent tires and I bet it will be awesome. My boss who has a Saab 9-3 (that he hates) was amazed at how well the car handles and I don't have coil overs or anything.

"Do you have some kind of high performance suspension?"

"Nope stock worn out bushings and springs."

Dashboards are pretty heavy, if you're looking to get the weight out of the front.
