Its true. Wheels are benificial in multiple ways. Less mass to spin up during acceleration, and once they are turning, its less rotation mass to overcome to change direction.

With all the performance improvements I've done engine wise, theres alot of subjective performance questions that come up, like which pistons, are the heads ported, long/short manifolds, and so forth down the line. When you mount the lightweight wheels, there is no question, everytime you ride.


I chose Carozzeria forged aluminum, in gold.

(Additionally, the Nichols engine mounting bolts made a noticable improvement to the handling/feel of my 93SS)
