Default Wheel weight vs. Wheel HP/Tq??

Anyone know of a spreadsheet to help calculate how much of a difference I should see with my Autocross wheels and tires on vs. my standard street wheels and tires??

I have the wheel and tire weights for both...

Street

18" ICW Trident D7 wheels = 23.5lbs
Kumho MX tires (225/40/18) = 22lbs
TOTAL = 45.5lbs each * 4 = 182lbs (all four)

Autocross

16" Mazda RX-7 FD wheels = 14 lbs
Falken Azenis RT-615 (225/50/16) = 23.5
TOTAL = 37.5lbs each * 4 = 150lbs (all four)

I looked online for a while but became frustrated before long... Anyone have any input??

*Side Note*

With the Street wheels and tires on, the SVX made 191lb/ft wheel tq and 186 whp at a dyno day in Wilmington, NC a few months ago...

There's one for a flywheel but maybe you can change it for wheels maybe?

are you talking about how much loss at the wheels you are going to see depending on how heavy your wheels are? it also depends on how the weight is distributed across the wheels. if its closer to the center then you will see less loss, if more weight is towards the edges there will be more loss
