dont get Breytons man. They are known to have poor quality control. Several forum members over the years have reported cracked wheels on street and track applications.
OP you also need to remember a few facts of physics.
The heaviest part of the wheel is the barrel, which incidentally is the portion of the wheel thats furthest from the center. Lets take the formula for momentum of a rotating body (an energy equation essentially)
It can be written as such
M = 1/2 m w^2 r^2
Where m is the mass
w (omega) is the angular velocity (essentially how fast the object is turning)
and r is the radius, or distance the mass is from the center.
Im ignoring the mass effects of the hub and spokes (assuming its the same for all wheels)
Simply put. if you buy a 25 lb 17" wheel to replace your 25 lb stocker youll notice its easier to change the direction of the wheel.
Its more than just having a light wheel. If you want the best performance upgrade for your money youll have to downsize to 17" wheels.
Just food for thought
