This might be a dumb question… but if you car isn’t that fast… and its your daily driver… how much of a performance difference will lighter wheels make?

Compared to stock wheels it should be a big difference… Another reason i want light wheels is so if i get my car to run like i want it i wont have to buy a set if light wheels i will already have them

going from 17’s to stock 14’s on my car feels like a big improvement, but it doesn’t make a difference at the track.

The weight difference should make a difference

it didn’t, and i have slips to prove it. heavy 17’s vs. lighter stock 14" alloys. times were less than .038 different. it definately feels quicker, but it wasn’t. results are probably different with a fast car, but you don’t have one of them either. :booty:

It doesn’t really make all that much of a difference for drag racing, but for autocrossing and other handling type contests it’s pretty noticable. I think GRM did a test on a BMW or something with wheels of various weights and it did make a difference if you averaged the runs out.
