Not 100% true

1 lb. of rotating weight is = to 10 lbs. of total weight

And every 100 lbs. taken off a car is about 1/10 th of it's 1/4 mile time

I'll bet going from a stock 17in truck rim and tire set up to a set of light weight drag rims and tires is damn close to 100lbs lighter that would be almost a full Sec. Off a 1/4 mile time

all the wheel styles are the same prices. for 15's all the way around it was 1800 SHIPPED or 900 for the front and 900 for the back. thats in a 2 peice wheel.

i cant remember but i think he said 15-17 are the same price. 17 goes up to 11" before the price changes and 15 only goes to 10 before the price changes.

im really liking the 17's up front and 15's out back but im still undecided. the MACH 5 and SLEEPER are the ones im looking at. and if i ever decide to purchase some street wheels they would definitely be a 18" set of RS tens
