The other thing to consider is this: although you may not be changing the MASS of your rotating wheel by much, you ARE changing the DISTRIBUTION of that mass. moving it farther away from the hub makes it harder to spin. that's why I don't think lager discs can make ou lose that much power....unless they're made of lead or something....they're so close to the hub they matter less than wheels that are farther from the hub.

I think the wheels I saw were Kosei K1 TS

any good?


I saw this show. It was a acura RSX with mugen parts. It wasnt BS.

Edit: though the car didnt lose AWHP because its a FWD
