Default Re: New Wheels 4 My Track Tires

HDDP, looks nice. I know the stock Crossfire wheel and tire package is pretty heavy on each corner of the car, and excessive unsprung weight is no good on the track. What do you think each wheel / tire weighs?

From what I have seen, you really don't see too many cars racing at the grass roots level with low profile tires. I wonder if this is due to the decrease in "communication" from the tires when cornering at the limits, or because of the weight penalty associated with using larger diameter wheels. Seems to me that 18" front / 19" rear might be good for the street, but a little excessive on the track. What do you think?
