100lbs / 4 wheels = 25lbs.
50lbs / 4 wheels = 12½lbs.

are you getting Racing Hart CP035 wheels? and holy flippin shit you'd feel a difference in performance, just get damn good tires to go with it and it'd be like a new car.

Yeah i have had my 19's for about 7 months now, after getting my headers today i have decided to go with lighter rims to get very amount of power that i can. Im still gonna keep my 19's got so many comments on them. Also the reason i wanna switch is cuz i have hyperblack right now but i wanna go all black with a poilshed lip. I look forward to the differnce.

And yeah i am gonna be getting some summer tires
