So if you take 2lbs off per rim, (which is 8lbs), it would like lightening the car by 64lbs..... Quote: Originally posted by Own3dByJug: Quote: Originally posted by SVTJOE1: [b]These things are too heavy. I had no idea the rims slow you down so much. Actually, say if they're 5lbs a piece heavier, you'll hardly notice a difference. 1-2hp maybe, tops. I did see a dyno of a Civic DX that lost 9hp because of different wheels, but that was going from 14" stockers which weighed about 16lbs to 19" chrome wheels which weighed 29lbs. HUGE difference.
