Wheel weights

Post by noginsk »

I am considering some new wheels. When I buy these (I'm still deciding) , I want them to be lighter than the stock steel ones. Does anyone know how much they weigh? Those of you with aftermarket wheels, what do yours weigh? Does going with lighter wheels really affect the performance and gas mileage that much to warrant the extra cost? Thanks everyone.
