[QUOTE="tt335ci03cobra, post: 16338471, member: 68944"] Unsprung weight is pretty noticeable in my experience on my 03 cobra. I had heavier 18x10” wheels at about 33lbs each, and stepped down to 22/24lbs tsw sochi’s. Car felt like I pulled 250lbs off the nose. Much better steering response, and high speed handling. All in all that’s only ~40lbs of unsprung weight but it definitely made for a better driving experience. My cobra is a high powered turbo car with a mostly full suspension build and a trutrac and I drive it hard on canyons and backroads/etc. If you just do some wot pulls and keep it mellow, you probably won’t notice much difference except steering effort. My steering effort now is dramatically less than before especially at parking lot speed. I don’t recommend the sochi’s though because although they look good in pictures, the design doesn’t end up well on these cars compared to other traditional 5 spoke designs. [/QUOTE]
