[QUOTE="dy5000, post: 16909, member: 5212"] Understand about unsprung mass and rotational inertia so that you would never buy cheap rims ever again, also the bigger the rim size (also the weight), the more power the car needs to move and brake. For example, have you noticed that F1 cars don't have huge rims and also uses carbon or better materials. If you can ever have a chance to lift up a F1 car rim / wheel, they are incredibly light.[URL="http://www.hrewheels.com/hre_in_action/tech_talk/rotational-inertias-effect-on-performance/"]http://www.hrewheels.com/hre_in_action/tech_talk/rotational-inertias-effect-on-performance/[/URL]Here is something for all of us to consider (if money is not the factor) to upgrade our rims / wheels. HRE (a high-end exotic wheel producer) has launched their Carbon and Aluminum wheels. They are absolutely delicious :) not so how much they cost, but I'm sure they are very light and strong.Time to save up for some Carbon wheels :)[URL="http://www.hrewheels.com/wheels/series.php?q=/CARBON/CF40/"]http://www.hrewheels.com/wheels/series.php?q=/CARBON/CF40/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
