i have panther 17 inch chrome rims and they are twice the wieght of the bubble 5 stars i took off...they look cool but i can notice the wieght difference in the handling and the shock absorbtion...

can you feel the performance difference between having a passenger and being alone?

or having a full tank or a 1/4?

if your buying rims make sure they are superlite!and dont be so fast to put the stock ones down..theyre actually lighter than most

Naaa just put some good heads and a matching cam with a great flowing intake and your car won't even know the difference

I can notice a diffrence when people are in the car as far as how quickly it wiill get going. I never notice much diffrence as far as the gas tank being full or almost empty. As far as rims the stock ones may be light but hell would freeze over before I ever put a set of those back on just to save weight. There are rims out there that are very light but it will cost you.....IE Steeda Ultralite II's $400 each rim

Ever try to pass anyone with the air on? Forget about it....

I agree with wytstang too. Passengers don't make a damn bit of difference after I did my top-end. I don't let people ride in the backseat though.
