Really? My 16 inch clk wheels are light. 20's suck if you REALLY want light weight.

How much difference is there really in a 16" wheel AND tire combo VS a 20" wheels AND tire combo ?

With 16" you will have less weight in the wheels but more weight in the tires.

Right ?

I don't kow all the specs, but if you look at Vossens vid of the CV3's on Jav's car. You will see that it ran 11.7 on 20's and 11.4 on 18's with hoosiers. ( sorry i forgot that the vid is misleading, but iI was there that night). Either way, 3 tenths is big just by switching wheels and tires. You do the math.

That's not entirely fair because the hoosiers will grip FAR more than whatever tire he may have in the 20's.

Can't compare street tires to drag tires that's for sure. Also the taller side wall will help if you are talking about 1/4 mile times.

All I'm saying is that I have had lighter weight 20" wheel / tire combos than the stock wheel / tire combo that came on the car.

Lots to consider.

If you want anything under 25 lbs in 20" you need to go to a forged wheel, and they are not cheap.
