I guess I need to check with Derek and see why I have not received a notification.
As for the 17x4.5 vs 17x7.... I would imagine the 2.5" of aluminum hoop would only be a couple of pounds max. Where you would save the most weight would be in the tire. If there were a good 27-28" radial 4.5" front runner out, I would likely go with the 17x4.5 since mine will be for the drag strip only. Now I am at a cross-roads....
