Thanks guys! Just put new wheels on and went for a quick drive just so I don't have any surprises tomorrow morning when I need to get to work.

Quick observations:
- front rims are 17x8 and with 215/40 it almost looks like tire is too narrow.
- overall rotation mass has increased comparing to stock and made acceleration slower and car is less responsive to throttle (which brings a question - are OEM rims forged? almost feels like it.. need to check weight for these too); rears have 275/30 hence I blame heavy tires. Will be putting 255s which again brings good Q: is there any tire weight comparison chart anywhere?

OEM wheels are forged and very light. I once compared OEM 2002+ wheels to Volk CE28 in 17/18, please look here:

Anyways, congrats and welcome!
 
OEM 02+ wheels are forged, and stamped forged right on them. I don't know about pre 02 which are enkei. 02+ made by BBS.

Tire weights available under specs at most manufacturers websites and at the tire rack. Fairly accurate although not 100%.
 
Thanks. You call it vintage - I call it period correct :)))

haha I like that..keepin it real....................................................period.
