If you had the Sport wheels and not the Nismo wheels I still wanna hear your opinion. Let me know if the car felt slower at takeoff or if you felt any loss in performance at all. thanks!

These are the weights on the Sport model from the weight reduction thread:

Quote:
- Sport Package Wheels/Tires -
Front Wheels (Sport Package) + Stock Bridgestone RE050A (245/40/19): 52.2lbs (23.68kg)
Rear Wheels (Sport Package) + Stock Bridgestone RE050A (275/35/19): 56.8lbs (25.76kg)
Front Wheels (Sport Package): 23.2lbs(10.52kg)
Rear Wheels (Sport Package): 23.8lbs (10.8kg)
Front Stock Bridgestone RE050A (245/40/19): 29lbs (13.15kg)
Rear Stock Bridgestone RE050A (275/35/19): 33lbs (14.97kg)
Tires are a big factor, too. F14's are lighter than stock Sports for sure. Not sure about Nismo.
