Pat, you should plasti-Dip those bitches when you get them...before you mount tires on them....plus it will protect the new surface....kinda like a condom ! I would spray like 2-3 coats on the fronts.

That's added weight and it'll be harder to clean a surface with more friction (although I guess it would protect the wheels). Can it withstand the extreme temps the wheel sees in a track setting without adversely affecting anything?

I don't think the weight is anything substantial to be worried about....it would hardly be noticed....only a few ounces at best. Also, I think the wheels will clean up fine with a high pressure washer ! and no it doesn't blast it away...I have it on my front bumper and have power washed it many times with it not coming off.

Do you remember what the weights were? I didn't really search too hard just a quick google search. As far as your xbox, there's a reason why I didn't get another one lol and just decided to go with playstation.

That's what I was thinking about doing since I'm not really a fan of the plain silver for aftermarket wheels.

Man I can't remember the weights. I just remember thinking "wow those aren't bad at all". lol

As for the XBox... it's like 4 1/2 years old, so maybe it's that time. From the troubleshooting I did I think it's a power issue and can be fixed. It could have something to do with my little boy turning it on and off all the time.

That's a pretty limited range.

Aren't your Pf01's only +15 ?

That's what mine are, but with a +20 offset.

Here some options for what may be the cheapest 18x9.5 +30 to +38 you will find...
