Finally got some new wheels on the car
Considering I couldn't get CCW to sell me some wheels, I went back to Jason Tung from GetYourWheels.com - I had been talking to him since April and he's been super helpful, good prices, great communication. I'd go back in a heartbeat.
I ended up going with Rohana CFX5 wheels in matte black and I love them. Factor in the price and I really LOVE them and I even picked up a matching pair of 19's for the track
And I swear I could fit a set of 20x12's out back...I may try that in the Spring for kicks
Details:
old drag radials on 19x9.5: 64.42 lbs each with a 305/35/19 tire
new drag radials on 19x11: 60.39 lbs each with 325/30/19 tire
oem 20x9: 31.52 lbs
oem 20x10.5: 37.02 lbs
new 20x9: 23.99 lbs
new 20x11: 24.84 lbs
old lug nuts: 3.36
new lug nuts: 1.6
Overall I saved 41.18 lbs on the daily, not bad.
Onto some pictures:

I bought the Savinis for my XF from those guys, price was decent. Great look with the firesand! I think they also have at least one other internet name. Have you noticed a difference in driving feel/handling with less unsprung weight? Also, can you provide details on the cool scale your using?
Also, is that tar collected just below the rear fog light?

Gregg - haha! Sorry man, I'm stashing those OEM's away for now. But there's some really cool stuff out there for relatively little money.
Jaguny - Thanks brotha, yeah, I'm really happy with the look against the firesand. Eh, my butt dyno says the car feels a bit snappier - like it wants to get going more quickly. But, I'm looking to get to Atco on Friday the 14th to make some passes. The wheels are my only change since last passes - so it'll be a great indicator of any gains from losing weight.
Absolutely, the scale is pretty cool...especially if you're into details like I am

As for the stuff on the rear of the car....that's rubber from the drag strip

After the first track day with my car, my rims had clumps of rubber stuck to the inside from other people's track tires. The hunks that were stuck in my treads came off pretty quickly. Guess that's normal, but I can see why track tires don't last very long.

Now that I've put about 5k on my car, I understand some of comments about the car feeling heavy. I haven't tracked the car, but I am always pleasantly surprised that when I push the car into a tight corner, the impression is that it will understeer (awd), but ultimately it makes the turn smoothly, and flat. Maybe this is just me getting used to the cars handling characteristics. I am curious if less unsprung weight would give the car a more nimble feel in these cornering maneuvers?

Lizard - thanks man! Yours look killer too, I think that style really works on the M cars.
Those pic are all on stock suspension, but it's at the shop right now getting the Velocity .75" lowering springs on
amr42 - Jason at GetYourWheels.com threw them in when I got the whole setup.
akc70 - no kidding, right? I've hated those things since day 1...who ok'd red calipers to leave the factory on that color combo.
