Lighter wheels = any E.T reduction? - Page 2

Bruce, how much actual difference in weight are you talking? Those Centerline wheels are already a lot lighter than a 15 X 7 Magnum 500. I'd think a slower car wouldn't see anymore advantage because you are accelerating the mass at a slower rotational speed than say an A/S or A/SA car. I agree with Jim.

Spending money to reduce total empty weight AND unsprung weight is usually a good investment. depending on the combination and how fast the car is.
