How many tenths saved by going to lighter...?

Wheels??? say Te37s...at around 17 lbs or SSR competitions at about the the same over the 26 lbs stocks....

also if there is an answer on the rotors tim sells...as to the weight savings????

1/4 mile or 1/8th mile est. is what im looking for even 0-60 and or increased WHP???
i've done a 9.433 im looking for 9 flat ,understand i dont belive weight alone will get me there, but with RES and MMII plus light weight wheels???
I'm dreaming more and more about the 3.5 upgrade...torque convertor and HLSD...and 8.5 1/8th 13.25 1/4

I'm not any expert but I think u can probably get .2-.3 sec off in the 1/4 mile. With lighter rims you'll feel more of a handling difference than an acceleration one. Just stay away from those 20" rims if you lloking for performance.
