Post #18 from the 15” vs 18” discussion 15" vs 18"
The weight savings argument is a penny wise pound foolish proposition.
My point exactly, so don't sell 15" wheels running 295-335 rubber as authentic or classic 'cause they ain't.

Wha? Saving weight is penny wise pound foolish? Why did you buy a JBL then? Was it for the light weight maybe? Why do they make aluminum heads and blocks and carbon fiber bodies? Save weight maybe? Why do they produce and sell magnesium castings? Save weight maybe?
Bruce's info, if correct, is 20-30+ years old. And he's one person, not a great sample size. There are plenty of racers, using smaller lighter wheels and tires on factory-limited fenders.
As for authenticity, I have no idea WTF you're talking about.
Your argument is trying to justify what? Buying a JBL, with 18's or what are you trying to sell here? Because I'm not buying it. Maybe others will, but I don't.
