And yes rotation mass has far less to do with the handling of a car than static weigh, but as a recreational racer,as you put it (and I'm guessing autocross), I'm sure understand all the concepts of car setup and everything related to that Furthermore rims that are less than $800 per set are far more worry free than a set at $12,000. That's $11,200 that can go into the race program, and thanks for the news on the wheels that MM is working on I'm sure you will see those done real soon,do you believe everything you read on-line?..lots of talk little action.
As far as your sprinting analogy, first of all we do use lighter rims when sprinting (running time trial) but when we are racing we prefer something more like a hiking boot that can take a little more punishment, and when they do get damaged we can toss them in the trash without a second thought. Get off the couch and get out to the track then come back and talk to me, lots of people with a computer and couch think they know something about racing......especially if they read it on-line.
