Swapped to my 19 inch Volk TE37s with tires they weighed around 49 pounds

By going +2 in rim sizes but reducing the unsprung weight i actually noticed a positive change...

Its always funny to hear someone go +2 and add like 10 pounds per wheel and wonder why their car feels slower! haha
A positive change how? By moving the some of the rotational mass outward 2" you should be losing power, not gaining it. From what I've read and experienced with my 350Z, a gaining power doesn't seem possible. I went from 18's to 19's and the setup was lighter than stock.....yet the car still felt like I had lost some power.
