I'm not sure I've seen a thread similar to this one so I'd like to throw a question out there..

I've seen many options of 19" and 20" wheels out there and information on weight for them as well..

AFAIK, the stock 19" sport Rays weigh around 23 lbs. each front wheel and around 24 lbs. each rear wheel...

What would the impact in performance be from putting in heavier wheels..?? For example, acceleration..??

What could be considered "safe" additional weight per wheel..??

In the end the question is if by adding wheels that weigh ~27 or ~28 lbs. will have a noticeable impact in performance and acceleration..

I'm just trying to avoid my car from feeling sluggish....
