These overall results are backed up by actual measured tests by professionals. Any time you lessen weight you improve performance. 6lbs. per wheel doesn’t sound like much, but when the wheel is in motion you are greatly reducing rotational mass as well. Your car should also feel somewhat more responsive to steering inputs with lighter wheels and less rotational mass. With all that said it ultimately comes down to what you want. These performance differences will mean more on the track than real world everyday driving. In real world driving the performance differences will be less relevant.
My autocross race wheels are light weight 17 inch, which also drop the car down as they are mounted with light weight narrower diameter tires too. You can really feel the difference when you hit second gear.
That will greatly depends on the tires as well a 19 will usually handle because because of a stiffer side wall and a 18 would ride better the 19s are wider so they would for sure handle better
@@alexchavez1011 so I am placing an order with them and I noticed in the shipping area it says intercoms cpt and it states I need to arrange the carrier as well as delivery place. They said they did that to save me money. Was this similar with your order? I just dont want any issues

Huh. I guess there’s a limit to how much tire you can have given your power. The car bogging due to the grip resistance makes sense!
Hey, super sticky tires have much more rolling resistance, that's where a part of the difference in times comes from :)
Nice experiment for me as I have those exact Chryslers wheels
Good thing I have Gramlights😹
Interesting results, what about drive quality and cornering?

@@alexchavez1011 I think the same
I had a question regarding the seller you used for Alibaba because I a trying to order from them now
What is the question

Do the test over but with same tire.
Are those the same rims you brought from Alibaba a few years ago??
Yes these are it
