Message	You seem to be really really big on wheel weights. Do you have any evidence that supports your claims besides general rules of thumb? [ http://www.modified.com/tech/modp-0906-performance-wheel-test/viewall.html ] performance difference is pretty much nothing. I know its not a perfect test, but its same car, 20 brand new identical tires, and a good assortment of wheels. Do you have any better evidence that a pound or two of unsprung weight makes a difference on a street car? Antihero Putting AMS garbage, and $500 ebay wheels on a Z is like dressing a Victorias Secret model in a Walmart dress and Payless shoes. You're embarrassing yourself.
