I was there too. I didn't have a decent scale at the time but after lifting the manhole covers that came off the front versus the Wortec replacements I'd say it's legit.

 

Correct. Actual weights measured when I replaced the OEMs with the Wortecs. I also replaced the Gyrodynes with VS3 forged wheels, saving another 9-10 lbs/wheel of unsprung weight.

 

I didn't get quite that with my BC Forged, but I was comparing tire/wheel combinations, with new tires on the new wheels and worn on the old (19" Centrifuge), and with both tires and wheels being larger than stock. I'm not sure how much weight a tire loses in 3/4 of its life, but I got almost three pounds for each front and over four for each rear. I'll note that my scale is not trustworthy but was hoping that at least the delta would be semi-accurate.
