8.6kg is not bad, not as bad as I was lead to believe anyway.

Thats surprisingly heavy considering that you can get (non forged/expensive) ~8kg 17" and ~6kg 15". I guess that weight doesn't matter as much when you have plenty of power mods and who cares when they look the part 8)

I will have a bit of help from Mr. Garrett with the horsepower so the weight is not a problem.

Yeah, I love XR4 as well...apparently they do come in 17 X 7 and 17 X 8 as well. But most likely you find those in Japan.
