sorry, there is no simple equation because there are several factors involved, not just wheel weight and radius, but where the weight is on the rim (close to the center or towards the outside of the rim). A rim that weighs lighter than stock can use up more torque due to the fact that some of the weight of the rim has to travel farther (as in a circle with a 17" radius compared to a circle with a 13" radius).
anyways, those giovanna bling blings are worth plenty, sell them and get some nice racing wheels. I suggest rota, they have an unbelievable quality/price ratio, plus I have 2 uncles that work in the rota rim factory. they're poor and they both have a huge litter of kids (filipinos multiply like rabbits:thumbup: ) so you got to help them out j/k. but seriously, some nice lightweight rims and sticky tires would do you really good.
