Default Wheel weight question

I have tried to search this, but I haven't found what I am looking for.

ANyone know the weights of the ASA Ar1 wheels? (and are these correct also)

Ap1's 18/26 (f/r)

Ap2v1's 17/24 (f/r)

ASA Ar1's ??/?? F/R

I currently am on a set of ap1's w/ dunlop direzzas (205/225 stagger) on them, and have the opportunity to trade them for a set of the ASA AR1's that have nearly new RE-01R's on them(225/245 stagger).

I just don't want to jump to a nicer tire and end up sacrificing handling by ending up with a much heavier wheel.

thanks in advance for the help!

(OH... and one last question. Do I need to worry about rubbing with the ASA's and that stagger of tire if I am lowered on Skunk2 springs and still have stock fenders? I really don't want to have to roll them).

THanks!

I hit up that site. And, it appears that they are ~21lbs front and 23lbs rear...

... so that still poses my question of "is that, in fact, heavy enough in comparison to stock that I will notice a decrease in turn in, braking, and acceleration?" My gut tells me "no", but I am no expert.

OH... and about the rubbing.... any thoughts on that. 17x7+48 front with a 225 potenza re-01r and 17x8+45 rear with a 245 potenza re-01r.

thoughts?

Just based on looking around, the re-01r is not as wide as some other 245's... so, I shouldn't have to roll fenders or run a lot of negative camber, yes?
