They look the part and they look. Just curious. What is the effect of weight on a wheel? Good/Bad/Neutral?

Jeremiah 29:11

The unsprung weight of a wheel controls a trade-off between a wheel's bump-following ability and its vibration isolation. Bumps and surface imperfections in the road cause tire compression--which induces a force on the unsprung weight. In time, the unsprung weight then responds to this force with movement of its own. The amount of movement is inversely proportional to the weight - a lighter wheel which readily moves in response to road bumps will have more grip when tracking over an imperfect road. For this reason, lighter wheels are often sought for high-performance applications. In contrast, a heavier wheel which moves less will not absorb as much vibration; the irregularities of the road surface will transfer to the cabin through the geometry of the suspension and hence ride quality is deteriorated.


Bottom line: Lighter wheels is better for road handling and certainly for braking.

After paying for the thing i will not be able to get rims, i will have to get some flowmasters, cherry bombs or something.

Thanks Jeremiah, for the imparted wisdom!

I was going to ask about a carbon fiber, decided to do a quick google

Have these caught on? Carbon fiber rims?

I purchased my SRT "because" of the way it looked, factory rims and all....I'll keep it as such for the time being....

Got to admit... almost without exception I prefer the bone stock look on most cars of this nature.

I like the ones Diablo picked out... That's like something I want...
