24lbs. per corner? Was that all wheel and tire, or are there some titanium rotors, hubs, or wheel bolts/lugs/nuts in the mix? I suppose if the stock R32 wheels are REALLY heavy, along with the stock tires, and you went to a set of Volk's with the lightest tire you could find, you might dump 24 lbs., but it does seem like a lot from wheels & tires alone.

I agree, That's 24lbs or rotating mass shed per wheel.

Josh,

Wow, that's a hell of a lot for those areas.  Details please!
What do you estimate your $/lb is?
