Who has rota's? Do you feel different?
After you installed your rota's. Did you feel a light increase in response because of lighter wheels? I'm thinking about getting a set. But my friend had Slip said he didn't feel anything different from his heavy stock. He said you only feel different when driving very high speed. Thanks.
Anyone dynoed their stock and rotas? Any increase in hp? I heard the rule of thumb is 1 lb at the wheel equals 50 lbs on the car. So considering 18 lbs stock steel rim. You're removing 300 lbs from the car. You have to feel the different righ? RIGHT?

I noticed a difference in accel and braking at low speeds with regular tires compared to heavy *** Azenis tires when I had my stock motor.
Not so much now.

when I had 14" HX's and switched to 15" slips I noticed a big difference in the way the steering feels. It felt like my car had power steering. Seriously.

Same here. Steering is EASY like P/S, but without the vagueness.

I went from 18lb stock steelies to 14.5lb rota subzeroes. Noticed that the car seemed to be able to accelerate a little easier especially at highway speeds. Car also seemed to hold the road a lot better, but that was due to the better and wider tires.

That my somehow apply through physics to an extent, but it's not literally the equivalent of removing 300lbs from the car.
Like if you took a CX, and put on ulra-lightweight wheels, you wouldn't have the equivalent of like a 1700lb car.
