every lb you remove from the wheels is about 6-7lbs of static weight. Its really a function of how far the weight is from the central axis of rotation. For exampe if your wheels are 5lbs lighter each, its like dropping 150lbs or losing the driver if he is tiny. I gained about 15 awhp on a dyno compared to a 99 vr4 with all the same mods same dyno same day with the exception of me having a CFDS-pst 1 piece
. We both had lighter wheels. My 18" Rpo1s are pretty light.\
