I love the way my car looks over the fangs. I love my rims over the sports package. That is the reason why I bought it and it is the same reason why many others bought the nismo. Last edited by Cell; 01-27-2011 at 11:01 AM. |

[QUOTE=Cell;914451]I always thought less weight on the rims means better torque and not HP. Smaller diameter rims always means more HP[QUOTE=Cell;914451]
hmm, i thought HP was affected as well. I remember a while back a buddy of mine dyno'd his LS1 with chrome corvette rims (heavy) then he took them off and put stockers back on and made a gain of about 15ish...significant

[QUOTE=GZ3;914466][QUOTE=Cell;914451]I always thought less weight on the rims means better torque and not HP. Smaller diameter rims always means more HPWere the two rims the same size? I know in the RSX community when people went from 16" rims to 17", they lost HP. No idea what lighter wheels do for HP wise. I just know losing some weight will always give better performance.
