Thats a good question. Hypothetically, they should show a gain in HP... right? Am I doing that reasoning correctly?

It would be cool if you got a boost in HP by changing out wheels.

I don't think they would so a gain, but I do think that a sweep would show a faster accleration curve and or higher MPH. I can test that on the dyno. I will do that at some point.

Guys, They are a great wheel, but I would say it's purely for racing use only. I know someone with an RS car shaved 1 second of a lap with (roughly this was 1min 30sec + laps) and that's all, I know in racing terms this is pretty good, but for anyone thinking they are going to have noticable gains over your average lightweight wheel then think again. Now if it was a Techart wheel, i'm sure you would notice, lol

MexicoBlue changed from the Techarts to the Dymags and he said you can fell a true seat of the pants difference in the two.

Probably could because the Techarts weight is stupid!

But over a Hollowspoke Turbo or a BBS, I think it will be minimal

Can't say anything bad about a performance mod! The ONLY (minute, miniscule, trvial, etc) thing I don't love are the yellow headlight rings.

Awesome Awesome Awesome though.
