Yeah, what's up with weight?
Am trying to remember my Physics...after the wheels are turning, the weight of the wheel and tires do not matter, because of the centrifugal force.
It takes a lot of force (torque) to get the mass of the wheels-tires going, that's where it matters most on weight. Once you are rolling, the only issue will be rolling resistance, none of the weight of the rims and tires matter.
Am I making sense?

Performance wise, faster acceleration = better!!

Well I need to buy some new lugs, so might as well buy some nice lightweight ones to go with the lightweight rims I'm looking to buy.
Bacardi, Work ones are really nice, just too pricey for me lol I think I'm going to go with some blue Visions to match my blue painted calipers.
Yea Grabber, most of the ones I look at are forged and either made out of aluminum or steel
