Should I Change To A Lighter Wheel?
OK Guys,
I'm thinking of changing from my factory 20" chrome wheels to some 20" Centerlines that weigh approximately 13 lbs less (each). Is there any noticeable performance advantage from this swap? Lower ET? Better launch? Higher mpg?

well i may still be a noob but im sure everyone will agree you WILL accelerate and brake better than before. just not sure how much. 13x4=52lbs of unsprung weight lost. i think thats pretty freakin good.

My wheels/tires I am sure way well over 70 or 75 pounds each.....
Just throw on the Baer 14" EradiStop rotors like I did and you'll be set. I stop better than stock now even with the oew brake pads and calipers.
