yep, several guys here run them as track wheels...
my wasp 18"s are only 21 lbs. with the toyos mounted they weighed in at 42ish lbs on my bathroom scale IIRC. I need to weigh my 16" stockers and see what they weigh in at. If I get R comps they're going on the 16s anyway.

I'd like to think my scale is off by 20lbs, since it says I'm 185 :D It's only a reference tool...
just like a boost gauge. Not precise, but a good monitor.
But 22lbs on yours, 23lbs +/- 1lb on mine, it's close enough.

A couple of local folk with S4's I knew bent their SSR comps at Laguna Seca.
The shark fin burms at Laguna are nasty to the cars though, but I expected track wheels to take more of a beating. I don't know of any other wheels that where damaged during our track events.

You want to be 205? :-)
I think I've seen it in multiple places that these wheels are 21lbs but we have to keep in mind that home scales are more accurate in a certain range (usually 90-220) and tend to be much less accurate outside of that range. I know this because a 1lb bag of sugar didn't move the scale at all. They're just not accurate.
