heavy rims? i have a quick question- i never dynoed before and i just put 19s on my camaro. would the heavy rims make me dyno a little lower from the loss or is the difference negligble(sp.)? also, you guys think the dyno will scratch the wheels? thanks

yeah the car is much slower then before so i figured the dyno numbers would be affected as well. the whole scratching thing came from the tire shop that told me to ask before i do any work on the car (wheel alignments, etc.), so i just figured i'd ask. thanks fellas
I made a post a few months or a year ago with a dynograph attached of my before/after dyno runs switching out between 2 different rims. There was about a 4 pound decrease in the weight of each rim, and I gained about 15 ft/lbs of TQ from 2000-4500 RPM, and the gains started tapering off after that. I noticed a big difference driving around as well
