Hi guys.

Has anyone tried to reduce weight from a Kodiak wheel or Keizer. Last year we used Kodiak and they weight apromimately 8 pounds. The guys from Kodiak told us that the weight will depend on the position of the billet center or center wheel. So if it´s near the lip of the wheel it will be heavier than if it´s on the center. Our billet center is near the lip of the wheel. We haven´t expierenced any kind of deformation of the wheels and maybe reducing the weight of the billet center will work. Has anyone tried that with a 500 pound car. or higher?
