Really?

I weigh 200 pounds...

Does that mean I soak up 200 of my 545's 325 horses by sitting my fat ass in it?

Weight on the wheel has more effect than weight in the car. 1 lb. per wheel gives 4 lb total. 4lbs on the wheels = 10 lbs on the car, so....
Your 200 lbs takes about 20 hp at full throttle in the quarter mile.

Another way to think is 100 lbs on the car is .1 sec in the 1/4.

not really crazy about the last three. Lowenhart are nice wheels but not really fitting of a sport sedan. Looks good on a s-class. The last two wheels have a nice design except I do not like the lip contruction where the spokes meet the lip. The first two are nice but are a design similar to others. The first look like breyton inspirations and the 2nd look slike hamann's. i would look into as mentioned before HRE's though very expensive, i-forged which are very similar to HRE's but at a fraction of the cost, or DPE wheels.
