what about 15"?

would the weight of the15" be lower than the 14" with tire weight? less rubber height = less weight?

are you going to get super low profile tires on steelies? No.. 15" steelies will weigh a significant amount more than the 14" ones. The tires will be larger for 15" steelies, and they should be the same profile.

The difference between 14 and 15 might be in the neighbourhood of 4 to 5 lbs including the wheel, tyre and air mass.

damn thats like 40lbs with tires.

compared to 15" rotas, would the extra 10lbs matter alot in acceleration from a launch even with good tires?
