Great video, love to see these with actual data backing it up. Definitely one of the best things you can do to a car that you plan to track... Tires, tires, tires, AND less rotational mass!
I think something that Steeda should point out is that the stock 19” setup is a larger overall diameter than the 18” track setup (27.7” vs 25.4”). That has an effect on the dyno. As well as tire pressure, especially when looking at single-digit HP. Not really a dig at Steeda: the smaller diameter track setup still showed a 6hp gain.
this video was all smoke and mirrors, a bright shiny object to stare at essentially. 6 hp on a 475 hp car is a run to run error at best, this video shows zero proof of anything other than the fact Steeda has stuff to sell you.
@@Carl_Jr Dyno numbers are not assumptions lmao. However they should have did 3 pulls with cool downs for each tire in this test. One pull plus or minus 5whp on a 500whp car is not enough data.
@I have 315’s square, with -3.3° camber up front. It would be fine as a daily driver, if you’re not dealing with really crappy roads.
Год назад
@@utoobia so if I'm understanding this correctly; In order for me to have a square setup AND still be able to rotate all 4 wheels, all I'd need is a 1" spacer up front? That has no rubbing issues ither?
This video is cool to see, but surprisingly the results aren't the same always like this. I installed a 240 Kit on a 2008 Hayabusa and it lost torque and gained 3hp. And percentage wise is much more of a difference on a 175 hp bike vs a 475hp car. I was shocked when I saw the results. I expected similar to what you recorded. I would love to take one to the drag strip and test it compared to a similar bike. That would show the true results of the change.
unsprung weight vs weight of a rotating mass , I think lighter weight wheels are better but it makes little difference , the major advantage is on suspension components and fuel consumption
fuel consumption is proportional to the effect in aceleration so cant be a little difference in acceleration and better in fuel. The bigger effect is in suspension, that was correct, the ratio spring/unsprung change a lot.
With lighter weights the car will go into corners a lot easier and the suspension can do it's job a lot better. That's the main reason for me to use lighter wheels and tires, not the horsepower alone.
Hi, I'm tore between buying these Apex wheels or your new steeda trident wheels. I know you list the trident wheels at 24.5lbs for size 19x10s. Are the Apex rims close in weight for the same size? Also do you know off hand how much do the stock pp1 wheels weigh?
Hi there, Apex EC-7 and our Trident wheels both weigh the same for the 19x10. The Apex SM-10s weigh about a pound less. Compare that to the PP1 wheels 19x9.5 that weigh a bit over 33lbs. Hope this helps!
I’m pretty late to this video! I’m a new mustang owner who is also a PHD physicist with an undergrad in mechanical engineering. I mention my education and background because I’m curious about the real world improvement, if any exist. I’m tempted to say that the reduced rotational mass will be negligent when the increased surface area and friction coefficients are accounted for. However, if there is no measured difference in acceleration the significant improvement in handling will still be worth every penny. Years ago I had a 2013 mustang GT with a 6 speed manual. With stock wheels and tires I could hit 4.8 seconds 0-60 mph as measured by the cars built in track apps. I went to a 245, 315 staggered set up which dropped 5 lbs per tire at the rear and 8lbs up front. My track apps 0-60 increased to 4.9 seconds. The car felt worlds better on the road and it was nice to no longer spin tires unless I wanted to. No matter the handling improvements the car felt slightly slower after the mod. Steeda is offering a wheel/tire combo that drops much more weight than my 2013 setup and that will probably translate to a small improvement in acceleration.
With both of our Drag cars we've seen a great decrease in 60-ft times with the help of lighter brakes, wheels/tires, and a driveshaft. But that setup probably saved over 100lbs across the board which is going to be much more of a measurable difference. The track apps on the Mustang, even today, aren't really the most precise measurement either. It will give you a good idea, but a real measurement tool like a Dragy is going to give you accurate numbers.
@@steedaautosports 100lbs can make an incredible difference in the work required to move the car. It’s impressive that you all are able to drop that much weight with brakes, wheels, and driveshaft. I’m sure you all have an incredible team of engineers and racing enthusiasts. Thanks for writing back, I 100% agree that track apps aren’t the best tool, it’s just what I had available at the time.

Did the downsizing wheel size play a factor in the hp gain?? Or was it just the weight saving. What if you went from an 18 to 19 “ but still lighter wheel. Would you still see a gain. Or no bc of the bigger wheel & gearing
This is interesting that there's that much performance ...and on a dyno. My 2012 GT/CS stock wheels weighed close to 28lbs (only the wheel) and then the tires on those were some 245/45/19's that I want to say weighed closer to 25-26lbs... so right at 64 lbs, and i swapped those out for some 24lb lighter wheels, but the new tires (285/35/19) were about 30lbs... so the 4 lbs i saved I gained back in tire weight, so i'm curious if the same tire on a lighter wheel vs same wheel and a heavier tire makes much difference, probably not that much... but I've also been told my exhaust is about 20 lbs lighter than the stock exhaust (bassani cat back). I'm starting to wonder if the wheels did more than the exhaust xD
He forgot to mention that the hp “gain” is doubled providing the same weight reduction on the front and that braking would would get the same “hp” advantage.
So if I go from 32 lb 19 inch stock wheels to 16 lb 17 inch wheels (128 lb total reduction in rotational weight) in my Mazda cx5 turbo, will I notice a big difference in acceleration?

Yes, the 18" Apex Wheels are a smaller diameter than the factory 19" wheels. However, they're much wider at 315/30-18 fitment meaning more rolling resistance than the factory 275mm tire as well. Hope this helps! -Chris

dyno do lie. you have no idea what you are talking. different strapping force and tires and heat soak alone will give you different readings let alone weight of the wheels and tires etc. ANYONE who knows anything about rolling dynos will tell you the same thing. This test is pure garbage. GO talk to a dyno expert and they will tell you the same thing. this test doesnt prove shit.
That's great, but let's talk about the fact that most APEX wheels are 800 dollars or more, where your "standard" 18-20 inch wheels from American racing/Niche, etc... are only like 250-400 dollars. So you're talking over $3000 dollars just for the wheels, for less than a 5% gain...
And less weight means less hard the engine has to work to get the mass working. Less hard the brakes have to heat up to slow it. Weight is a weird phenomenon. Drive shaft. Wheels battery some choice stripping of trunk and interior bits. I bet anyone could shed 100 to 130 lbs off the car. Oh yeah that stupid exhaust. That's gotta go too
and that's only showing the difference the weight of two wheels made. Throw it on an awd dyno with skinnies on the front so you're turning all 4 wheels like real world conditions. Compared to stock, its a big deal. Not only are there peak HP gains, but actual Weight lost in the car. double win.
+6HP on an already 475whp set-up is simply slightly different characteristics in each run. A Wheel is "circular" and the weight savings aren't providing any significant advantage with the transfer of energy from the transmission along the axle through the drive shaft. Where the lighter weight comes into play is relative to the handling ability, especially in the control/trailing arms and suspension. Run a car on a Dyno 10 times and each power measurement will differ (lower or higher). They are used to "tune", not necessarily report power.
You are so wrong buddy. Of course power to transaxle matter, engine requires less force to spin the wheels and moves easier, so that improves the consumption as well! It's general phisics!
The energy required to spin up and down the rims is miniscule. You would never notice a difference under power. This is all horseshit. You WOULD however notice a difference in handling, assuming you have the car set up correctly. Less sprung mass works wonders for the suspension
@@johns.1898does it really need to be said that you wouldn’t notice? I mean they clearly demonstrated a change of about 6HP. Are you going to feel that as a discernible change? No, but it’s a gain nonetheless.
I switched to lighter wheels on my 2017 Gt 350 and it made a noticeable difference in acceleration . Saved 9 pounds per corner! Those stock wheels and tires weighed in at 60 pounds plus. Shame on Ford!
