Hello folks,
Santa Is going to be very nice to me this year and offered to bring me a set
of any wheels I want...
I am wondering what is the lightest 16x7" wheel on the market, the lightest
I've found is the "REAL" custom wheel weighing in @ 13.5lbs
I cant imagine one being much lighter but...
also does anyone on this list have an Idea of what a 50% worn (245/45/16)
230 R1 weighs in at? my current autocross wheel and tire combo weighed in @
39 LBs a peice, (not bad for a big stock wheel) but to get the current
weight of the wheel I need to subtract the tire..
Also I heard that 1 pound of unsprung, rotating weight is worth 8 lbs of
main auto weight how close to the truth is this?, I am figuring if my
current setup is 39 lbs. my size hoosier weighs 18lbs, and 13 lbs for the
wheels. i'll be loosing 8 lbs per corner (plus whatever my spacers weigh),
that's 32 lbs total times 8 is like dropping the weight of my car over
250lbs... WOW. that takes my 600lb disadvantage and drops it to 350 lbs, a
siginifacant jump in my anti miata (soon to be anti MR2s) Mission...
although I will give up the ability to run 245 tires and have to run 225's
Thanks
Jeff Lloyd (the other B-stocker)
