The benefits of lightweight wheels goes well beyond acceleration. Overall vehicle weight drops, braking improves, and the suspension has to work less hard to keep the car on the ground (among other things).

I agree. When I put Rota 17's on my car it felt less agile and had weaker acceleration. Went but to the stockers and I'm loving it.

Looking to get some lighter wheels myself just haven't decided yet.
