So reducing rotors and tires would be fine, they are normal wear items. And reducing the wheel weight would also most likely improve the value so that shouldn't be an issue. But I'm only going to do it if there is a noticed improvement.

I've already shopped around and found that I can buy all - new tires, rotors, and wheels - and reduce the rotational mass by over 60 pounds total. I just don't know how that will relate to acceleration improvement.

Now I am guilty of taking this off topic. Sorry. For some reason I felt the need to explain myself. It won't happen again.
Eh you asked the first question, your thread. I think I read one of the track saavy guys post that every 10 pounds lost equated to 1 HP ... but I could be wrong it was awhile ago I read that, and can't recall what thread it was. If true, dropping 60 is not really going to net you a ton of power. Again I am going from memory, so that could be wrong.
