btw, those 351 wheels are very heavy. they are 33 lbs each. If you want to get the better wheels, go forged as they would weigh in around 22 lbs each (If you are not too concern about spending around $1100 per wheel - no tire)
Thanks for the response! I guess it'll make more sense to just get the same size all around and not go staggered on the off chance my car is picky and see the stagger as an error.

What are the draw backs of having heavy wheels on the car? Forged sounds real expensive...
