Just out of interest what rough weight advantage would you get if you changed
to ultra lite rims (say mille miglia or similar) from standard alloy rims? |

I disagree with Tufy on This one. My GT4 has some very heavy 17s (23kilos rim with tyre). When i put a different set on my car that weighted 17 kgs the car felt a lot different and was much quicker. Is not the weight overall of the car but i believe the resistance for the tyre to spin is much lower with lighter rims and tyres.
