    BUQUICK I'm your huckleberry.

    With a 13.6 car you can spend $1,200 on many other items that will get you a far greater reduction in e.t. than a set of aluminum wheels. Good luck.

    Amen. I was hoping i would hear better results. I went on Facebook and asked the question too. Anywhere from 0.2 to less than a tenth. I think the 0.2 was very optimistic, as someone was quoting a magazine article and going from memory.

    I’m going to say 0.1 maximum reduction.

    Sure easier messing with the lightweight wheels but not worth the money in my opinion

    If you decide to go with Weld aluminum wheels, just keep an eye out for used ones...… you'll be painting them anyway, so condition isn't real important. If you decide to go that route let me know about the adapters. I always try to keep a set or two in stock.
