Dude, that's the worst response for how do they feel?
So do you really notice much performance gain on acceleration, or other gains? Think pickup is about all rotating weight will help with, although I'm sure it helps, just not how much on such a heavy torque filled car that already gets moving quick.
Performance gains by the seat of the pants are an odd one...I shit you not, after I put a radar detector in, my car felt faster, just the idea of new parts.

I'm not the guy for absolute data on just a wheel swap. What happened with my car, is that i also did a few other things to the car around the same time, SAI delete, Aux Rad delete, lighter rotors, wheels, and also did the coilpacks/got it tuned... so yes the car does feel better/faster overall. I'd say 60+ lbs are off the car at the moment. Don't run the spare either.

Thank you sir, that sounds more like it! Yep, tough to tell exactly when you get a bunch of work done at once. I remember when we pulled my aux rads, but also buttoned up the IC's, damn the car was faster after that new work...plus it was a cool and crisp time of year which equals a serious power boost.

No Mike I didn't take any pics but RS-GT's are easy in that they are two piece so you don't have to worry about a O-ring seal on rim halves since the Rim itself is one piece.

Light wheels are for a light car. A 4500lb car doesn't need them IMO. That doesn't equate to 'doesn't benefit', but unless you are gaining some additinal weight loss as a benefit of the "style" of rim you desire, it's just not worth the fuss. I've run SSR's, BBS, and Speedlines, but after losing (read bending) a rim with each set, I elect to stick with OEM style rims such as the Ronal's. This isn't a track car like a refined NSX can be. It's a highway bruiser.
