What size are the new rims and tires. Overall weight of the rim/tire combo and contact patch of the tire are the main things that will affect performance. I will gaurentee you that on an actuall dyno, that any car will gain horse power by dropping 5lbs or more from each corner. Butt dyno never show any conclusive evidence

Yeah that is true, But people (not just Sam) say they cant tell a huge difference, And there will be a few more horsepower gained by lighter wheels but it may just not be enough power to notice it. But I know I definitly dont want 20 pound rims. I found some that are 15 pounds that are pretty good lookin.

yea what i meant is you won't notice it out on the street

i found some Kosei 17's that are 14 pounds...
Anyone that has 17's prefer they've gotten 16's instead for confort reasons?
