15" vs 16" weight / nice rim spec site too

[Larry" <rocco16v@netzero.com (Larry)]

Those 16 (okay, 15.8) pounds may make only a few tenths of a second per lap
difference.  That could be the difference between winning and not winning.
A serious racer would KILL for a tenth of a second.
Casual racers like me (or the Meze) probably wouldn't spend the
money/effort...
