I dropped about 9 lbs per wheel in going from the Rays forged aluminum wheels on my sport Z to forged magnesium monoblock wheels from Litespeed Racing. In addition to the increased responsiveness of the steering and suspension, the suspension compliance was also increased. There is less impact shock transmitted through the suspension when I go over bumps and holes in the road, a consequence of impulse and momentum.
