To keep the same performance, you need to get a rim/tire combination that weighs the same or less as your stock steel & tire. It has to do with that physics stuff like mass, inertia...etc.
To get both performance and “Style” it will cost you a little more. Because most of the mass production rim companies don’t make light weigh rims. So you have to pay.
You have to sacrifice either your style, your performance or your money.
I think it's funny that half the folks on this board won't see this post. :chuckles:
