Ok - I'll bite....why do you want to know???
Theoreticly, if they're heavy, they could be robbing alot of power. Rotational mass, (rims being a big source) hog power because the engine has to turn gigantic heavy 19" rims. Some light weight racing rims would not only look good, but might also help performance significantly.
Thank you for a rational, straight-forward answer. I appreciate that - and I learn new things all the time. Who knows, with all this knowledge, one of these days I might understand this stuff as much as the guys do .... yeagh sure. :wink:
