Default question on wheels.

Would the 15 inch Rota Battles make me any slower or faster than stock? They weigh something like 12 lbs each and i thought i read on here that 14 inch steelies weighed 14 lbs (not positive on that though). Just wondering if i would lose any speed. Thanks in advance

damn 18 lbs? so the 12 lb rotas should help me out a little in speed and if not in speed atleast in braking, right?

Theoretically, it will help you in both acceleration and braking. Whether or not you feel the difference is really up to you.

If you lived at the track and it was warm and sunny 100% of the time while receiving a fresh set of tires every 6 months, then they'd be perfect.

They wouldn't make the best daily driver tire, particularly in the rain.

So it all depends what you're looking for. Kumho 712s are good all-around tires.
