I believe the VS8 19" are a pound or two lighter than stock, even.

I'm just saying that the wheels alone will weigh nearly 5 pounds more a corner, with an extra 5-10 from tires. That's a huge difference, and the extra rolling resistance alone makes a difference in acceleration.

Not bashing on those who like em big, just saying when I upgrade wheels, I generally go for light, wide, and sticky! :smile:
