Weight matters a lot.

Fikse, our new sponsor, can get you some 18's that are lightweight and look amazing.

No... that's due to torque. Mine can do the same.

not as light as the high-end wheels, but the Privat Fahrens i have for sale (link in sig) are pretty light. my guess is they are about 21-22 pounds. all of privat's wheels are good quality and lightweight. the more popular privat profiles are also pretty light if you like those better. if you like, i can bring my scale to my garage when i go on monday and see the exact weight

no wonder you were spining so easily, aluminum doesnt grab the pavement to well my bet would be tring our new sponsor if you have the cash for the Fikse's, thats what im going for in the future.

I don't think you'll get much lighter than a Fikse rim...I don't care for their styling as much as some other companies out there, but then again, you can't consider my CCWs to be a race wheel like the Fikses. The price is hefty, but you get what you pay for in this business.

As for not being able to light up your tires in Colorado, I've been there, done that. I lived there for 4 years, and for the last 1.5 of that time, I had my car out there. It was a total dog at elevation (about 6000-7000 feet where I lived). I ran a 1/4 mile with a G-tech, and it was registering about a mid-14 second time for me. **** slow, but still faster than a lot of the cars out there (except for the turboed ones).
