Importance of the weight of your wheels???

Went from stock sport wheels and tires 52.2lbs front each 56.8lbs rear each To Advan RS wheels with Michelin PSS (stock size wheels and tires, better offsets) 45.4lbs front each

I went with a lighter ap racing brake setup In the front and definitely felt the difference from that alone. I'm going to go with pss tires next to shave some more weight.

In my experience on many different vehicles going from a heavier wheel/tire combination to a lighter combo gives you a very noticeable feeling similar to adding horse power to the car. If you car is for show only then just get whatever wheels/tires that look pretty .
