Weight Difference

I had those 15x8 soft 8 steelies.. weighed 28lbs each rim..
now I have alloy 15x8 weld/cragar stars.. weigh 12lbs each..
I have a list of wheel weights in my profile.. mostly mustang rims..
heavy rims + heavy tires = bad mpg and a slower 4 banger.. intake and exhaust might add 5hp if any.. and 31" tires weigh about 44lbs each vs about 30lbs for normal size.. so 10lbs x 4 rims + 14lbs x 4 tires = about 96lbs x 2 for rotational mass = 192.. so it is like always having an extra buddy with you..

iPretty bad by my standards. Lost more mpg then anything, went from 25 to 19 highway, city i dont really know cuz i dont drive in the city. If your low on money its bearable but after havin them 6 months im ready for alloys. Mine weigh 22lbs each. My stock 14s with tires i know didnt weigh much over that.
If i was running smaller tires i dont think it would be real bad, but if your steppin up in tires size to anything over 30s, get alloy.
