Message	For some reason I've seen a repeated trend among the less technical on this forum and others to ignore their rotational mass in return for more aesthetic or cheaper options, but shave off even just 5 lbs of rotational mass per wheel and tell me what you think. Don't put all your focus on forcing the engine to perform because ultimately it's just pushing your tires/wheels/rotors.
