This little car really feels every pound of wheel weight. There have been many posts regarding performance difference when people drop to lower weight wheels.

Many inexpensive wheels, while they look great can be extremely heavy, weighing in at as much as 22 pounds depending on diameter. I personally would not put on anything over 16 pounds. Wheels can be found that come in at approx. 9 lbs each but at a cost. Striving for between 12 and 14 pounds I would say is ideal.
