The stock 16 inch wheels weigh 19 pounds on a 5th gen lude. Im thinking of getting 17 inch Volk TE-37 which weigh 15 pounds each. The 2000 price tag is high though. My question is how much will 4 pounds off the wheel weight make in the quarter mile? Lets say I ran 15.5 stock. If I made the same exact run at the same temperature and altitude how much would it lower it by? If its only by .1 second I might just get knock offs.

 

I went from 93 wheels (22+ pounds) to 15" Volk TE37 (9+ pounds). I went to the drag strip before and after. There was no difference in my times. Burn outs are easier. The cars rides a lot smoother and goes faster in the turns (track verified also)

I don't think you'll notice 4 pounds near as much as my 14 pounds though.

 

you should feel a diff. and a bit quicker acceleration.

 

Anybody else have Volks and notice any difference?

 

I have 17 inch Mugen MF10s and I noticed quicker acceleration from dead stop.. Yes i get better acceleration from the Mugens 16lbs each.

 

ive felt the most gain from a light wheel then any other mod ive done...resopnce is better ...lowed power was better ..
