    The difference a light wheel makes

    So today I've put back on my Rays Engineering Volk Racing TE37 wheels in 17x8 shod with Primacy OEM tyres back onto my car. IMG_3719 by Lauren Blighton, on Flickr My standard wheels with winter tyres were what came off: Now the weight difference is this, Rays are 7.4kg, the OEM wheels are 9.2kg. The Rays are also 10mm less offset so a 20mm wider track and obviously the wheels are an in inch wider. The difference I find is tangible. The car is more responsive to the throttle, turns better and more quickly. Also braking is better too. It's almost like the car feels lighter on it's 'feet'. I kind of knew this was coming as I immediately noticed the difference when I put them on for the first time last year. It's certainly something to think about. The biggest problem is that lightweight forged allloys are always expensive, though I was fortunate enough to snap mine up second hand and refurb them. They'll always be worth what I've laid out for them, so that's all good. But really if you want your car to feel more agile have quicker reactions, then a lightweight wheel is certainly worth giving serious thought too, particularly so if you like to really drive the car. So check your wheel weights!
