WARNING: Math ahead.

Math aside, you will definitely FEEL the difference when going up in wheel/tire weight at each corner when you drive. A few lbs either way is discernible.

Keep in mind there are some lightweight wheel choices that don’t break the bank these days too… They may not be the best looking wheel though…
