I've always heard that 1lb of rotating mass is like 8lbs of body weight..if that makes sense. So if you take 2lbs off per rim, (which is 8lbs), it would like lightening the car by 64lbs.....

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.
