"So, dear, I'll reluctantly have to replace these rims. Dang! And I loved those old rims of mine. Man!"

Oh, I laid it on thick, "yah babe, with new lighter rims I'll get better gas mileage too"... It's kinda true. :)

I am appalled by all the Tom Foolery in this thread. To think you would.....bend truth for your own selfish reasons. I will pray for you my good brother....

I have it for looks. If there is some minuscule performance benefit, all the better.

I've been told by some of my buddies who have them that it does make a difference on the track. The chassis feels slightly stiffer.
I would tell you how they feel at the next auto-x/track day if I had one. Who knows, I might have one by then.
