Rims
How does rota's help perfomarnce wise. does it really matter that your rims are lighter. If i get rota subzero or slipstreams and i get like flaken aziens. structs and springs.
will i see a performance gain other than handling

according to a tech book i have read, the heavier the rim the more of a decrease in wheel horsepower.
my 17"'s are going bye bye soon hopefully.

if you can only race me in a straight line then whats the point

...91 SMF SCCA
I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

you really wont gain wheel hp, but it will change the final drive. but its not going to be anything you will really be able to notice, i had wrecked my 17's a while back and i rode on some steelies that were lighter then those 17's and i couldnt tell the difference at all...just my .02 cents

go with 14' hx rims they are lite, you can have a game of catch with them and not get tired.... as for performance the smaller the rim diameter the faster the wheel spins, azenis are good auto x tires
