I went from about 12.5 lb wheels to 8.5 lb wheels on the miata and i noticed a huge difference.
unsprung weight reduction is great. less weight being pushed on to your suspension bits therefore usually providing better contact patch on less than polished surfaces, less rotational mass (provided all the mass is now not at the edge of the wheel).
need some wheel help quick!
