To find out how much wheel weight really affects driving dynamics and performance, I had what must be the world's heaviest 19x10 wheel made, weighing in at 52lbs (24kgs), a 38lb (17kgs) wheel, and I got a set of the beautiful Apex VS-5RS at 19lb (9.1kgs) to get acceleration, braking and handling / lap time.

The results surprised me.
