    sure. even more reason why 1 or 2 more pounds per wheel would impact performace and balance. the LFA is such a technically picky car. one pound here or one pound there could cause it not to act like lexus intended.

    And wheels are unsprung weight I believe, which is suppost to have more of an impact on performance. Something like that... I just know losing 10lbs from wheels has a much better effect on the car than 10lbs from a hood.
