? for those with lightweight wheels

Is it normal to have the car seem alot more unstable when getting on it hard? Ever since I put my SSR Comps on I get alot of loosness in my sterring when first starting out in gear hard like a full RPM run through 1st-2nd-3rd. I get more TS also. The car feels very light on the front at these times, & it's a little hard to control. Are these rims maybe too light? The total setup is 38lbs/wheel. It's fine at all other times just when on it at higher RPM.

Could just be a diiference in tires. Wheels shouldn't cause a loss of stability.

The racing harts I had before didn't feel like this either. They weren't as light. 48offset is not that much a difference from stock. Can't be the tire size cause I'm runnign the same size I had on stock rims. I'm using 17"s.

How is the tire pressure? Maybe that can be a reason
