MSP Mags vs MP3 Mags

[RX-KEVIN]

I rotated my tires on my msp and I couldn't believe how heavy they were so I weighed them on a nice scale and found out that they were 48.4 lbs each. If you want performancs you should get lighter wheels. just thought I would share

DAMN!!

If you took off the MSP wheels, then that should make you at least .5secs quicker.

sounds about right to me.
24lb wheel and 24lb tire...you dont expect some ultra light forged wheels on a 20K car do you?

If you ran a 14.5, what psi of boost are you pushing?

sorry, sorry, sorry.....Man, I hate thread jacking.

"Mag" wheels were called that because originally they were made of magnesium, which was lighter than the steel used before. Forged and spun aluminum wheels replaced "mags" after that. "Mag" became a term for OEM wheels on higher performance cars (ford and chevy "mag wheels").

Just a pet peeve. MSP, MP3, etc all aluminum.

Okay, I got that out of my system. enry, I wish you were closer so I could take those wheels off ya.
