[QUOTE="nikhsub1, post: 1440187, member: 22952"] Lighter unsprung weight will always help. When it's rotational, it helps even more. When it is the outermost part of the rotation it helps the most. That means tire weight is a bit more important than wheel weight. Really though we are talking about a nearly 3 ton truck - you probably won't notice much of anything in reality, when I went from the 36lb OEM beadlocks to 25lb wheels I didn't really feel any difference that I could really discern. On a sports car, I have clearly noticed a difference though, probably in steering as well as the car just feeling a bit lighter on its feet so to say. You won't really get much feedback from the steering in these things nor the 'lighter on it's feet' feeling either. At least I didn't. [/QUOTE]
