Yes sir... Rotating weight plays quite a big part of the overall performance of your car and is far too often over looked. Rotating weight, like wheels, flywheel, drive shaft, axles, gears, brake rotors, etc. The weight of these type of things on your car should always be looked into when considering performance and over all wear and tear of the car.
