wheels are one of the best places to drop some weight. less rotational mass = faster acceleration. but you also have to look into if this will be cost effective? how much do the wheels you have now weigh? how much will the new ones cost? and how long it will take to get a return on this mod.

here is a good write up on rotational mass
