I'm running 17x10.5 Black Bullitts and Im worried they are a little on the heavy side and just slowing me down.
What do you all think of wheels such as the 17x9 Ultralite Steedas , or any other lightweight rim? Or is it worth the money to get a set of 15 inch rims that don't weigh much just for track use?
Isn't each pound on the drivetrain line about 10X more "heavy" compared to other weight on the car? For instance, I'm thinking about putting an AL driveshaft, and its 6 lbs lighter. Since its a drivetrain component, I figure that is worth about 60lbs in weight savings. However, my wheels are very heavy compared to what else I could probably find, is it worth it? I'm happy with the wheels otherwise, I just think 17x10.5 is probably a little on the heavy side compared to what else I could get.
