Default 18 x 10 wheels et gains

we are on 18x 10 motorsport wheels all the way around, chrome nice and heavy, thinking about putting on Weld drag lites should save over 162lbs of Inertial rotating mass. what kind of gains should be expected? car is over 4000 lbs.

Can't tell you exactly. Probably 2 tenths.

Just go and find out!

unsprung weight is the most effective place to trim weight. taking 162lbs off in unsprung weight will help alot more than taking it off of the chassis.

Not including the width of the front tires this is alot of weight to drop just from wheels
