2 Additional pounds per wheel make a difference?

dammitcubs · 09-29-2016, 01:44 PM

Hi ALL,

I might be buying some used HRE's and based on the spec, they look to be 2lbs heavier than the standard 437M Stock wheels.

My Question is,
Is this noticeable?

Thanks in advance.

You're fine. Enjoy the wheels

It's like adding 12 pounds to your car. No big deal.

It's rotational mass -- will make a difference.

Unless you've dedicated the car for racing, enjoy the wheels. You'll never feel the difference.

I agree, in a perfect world you never want add unsprung weight but its not likely you will feel any difference in this case. If we were talking 6-7 or more pounds per wheel you might have something to worry about.
