i wanna go weigh my wheels now, i knew it made a difference but didint know it was that 10-1 ratio
I recently saw a black Z4M coupe with Volk TE37 Time Attack wheels (black with red lip) and it looked so badass. I'd recommend those because they are light as hell and look good too.
Got it dead right. Not only are they one of the worst places to have weight, the faster they spin, the more they affect the handling, and effectively, the more they weigh. And it is not linear, it is exponential. Add in gyroscopic forces, precession, and sometimes I wonder how in the hell five bolts are enough to hold the things on.
Guess what else? You know why you don't see ultra-low profile tires on racers? Because the metal weighs more than the rubber, in most cases, putting more weight and more kinetic energy and precessive forces right where you absolutely most do not want it.
