big difference going from my old 16" borbet type-c that were 19lbs to the 949's. made it a totally different car. even going from the 13lb kosei k1's i have also to the 949's or rpf-1's you can feel its more responsive. i dont feel any difference between the 949's or rpf1's they are almost the same weight and they put down identical lap times, 949 says they are 11.5 lbs but when i got mine i put them on a calibrated shipping scale and the lightest one was 9.4 and the heaviest one was 9.7 so they are almost the same as the rpf1's that range from 9.1 to 9.6

lol, I'm sure I'd feel a HUGE difference if I got one or the other considering my current wheel and tire combo is 43.5lbs per corner

Wait, that's not funny
