I wolud have thought that your wheels were a lot lighter than that. Only 4.5lbs saving per corner?

Still starting every time, did notice a longer turn over (about .5 seconds) after sitting for 36 hrs. I'm not really worried about this though. My E is pretty much a daily driver.
I can tell a small difference in performance after my 85 lb loss, can't wait to take off more
