If i currently have wheels that way about 22 pounds on my civic without tire and i drop to a wheel that weighs 16 pounds without tire (in the same size, 17 inches), will i notice a diffrence in acceleration or track times? Please help, cant decide if its worth spending the extra money, thanks!

i used to have 17"ADR(more then 18lbs, i think) heavy *** rims on my civic, then i switched to 15" buddy club sf (12-13 lbs, casting version), i did notice a big difference in accel and braking.

recently i switched from buddy club sf to racing hart CP035 (15" also, 7.9lbs).....did not really feel a difference though.

 

Yeah its worth it to get lighter wheels...12 lbs and under is great and you will be very pleased with the performance.

but will it still make a diffrence with the same size wheel just 7 pounds lighter each rim???

 

It would make even a bigger difference if you had smaller wheels
