also, do a search (in this forum, and Google) on "unsprung weight" and you will get some very good reasons to want to reduce your wheel weight if at all possible.

unsprung weight really only matters if you are actually going to race the car. If you just want wheels to keep up with the "bling-bling" jones's or pick up all "mad fly" honies, fo shizzle....you probably don't really need to worry about how much the wheels weigh! Most people on this board buy wheels for the one of the two above reasons and not for actually lowering the unsprung weight.

So from what I'm picking up around here, the Modulo's weigh about 5 lbs more than the stock rims per wheel. Is that significant?

I believe unsprung weight is equal to 4x body weight wrt performance.

So that's 5x4x4=80lbs of added weight. Does that sound significant to you?

If performance is at the top of the list then this would be but if it comes below aesthetics and $$$ then...........?
