The wheels are suppose to weigh about 23 lbs a piece but I didn't get a chance to weigh them. The tires are 235/40/18 and I have H&R coilovers. I haven't noticed any rubbing yet and hopefully I wont.

And yes the driveway sucks for keeping a car clean and thats some of the reason I have silver.

In short, it still creates lower drag profiles on the car...

" There is such a thing as parasitic drag, which the VG will cause. Sticking any item into an airflow will cause this, not eliminate drag.

Aircraft use VG to hold the airlfow closer to the wing to make the airfoil more effeicient, the same must apply to car as fluid dynamics are laws of physics.

Thats my opinion

i read this back in january and i remember some people were laughing at it claiming its all BS. no its not B.S. but then i laugh at people who think this thing will help them drive like shumacher

now i laugh at the people who think this thing is still great without a spoiler... hey a 0.006 decrease in drag coefficient... in another words whatever lil gas you save, you loose once you go full boost for 1 second
you didn't read through thoroughly. i dont know what you call functional, but it's far from what i would call it that if you read into the link mifesto provided. research points that the vg is almost completely fuctionless without the rear wing.
