hey i have a 96 ex coupe.
how important is wheel weight in terms of acceleration, handling, stopping, and ride comfort?
i hav the 7 spoke cl rims, 18-20lbs <U>without</U> tires, how does it compare to lightweight aftermarket ones?

 

Obviously it helps more in every category other than ride comfort.

Less rotational mass = better.

And all you have to do is look at any wheel manufacturer site to get weights.

The 96 ITR's are ~11.5 lbs apeiece

 

yea the ITRs are nic, do you think 18-20lbs is as noticeable difference compared to 12lbs?

 

Shaving 8lbs of rotating mass on each corner? Yes very noticeable

 

thnx man, one last question, wat about mpgs? how much more mpgs would i get with lightwieght rims vs stock?

 

Haha I wouldn't go into modifying a car looking for better mpg.

But less weight I'd assume you'd get more, but wouldn't count on it.

 

thnx man appreciate it
