Kind of a no brainer. Aftermarket is lighter. Track results will be slim to none if thats all you do.

25lbs off the nose is a good start point IMO but yes if that's all you do not a huge difference.

Just depends on how much money you want to spend. I personally like Bogart wheels and wouldn't spend money on anything else. Just my opinion. Look on forumns and see what wheels are for sale. They usually are not Bogarts cause people wont part with them.
