Do lightweight wheels improve performance?
Hi folks, I found this tech on a forged wheels site, not sure if this helps to improve the performance? Like handling or acceleration?

No negatives to reducing unsprung weight OP. Be sure wheels are hub-centric.... that offsets match your car.... that they clear brakes and suspension.
