If I have front and rear 4 caliper disk brakes for stopping and 500+hp for going will a 20some lb rim make that much difference??

Unsprung weight is bad for handling too.

well, yes. if you go with that set-up, why skimp?

as for the rims, show us pics of the whole car, man!![/QUOT

I can get you some pics once it gets out of the body shop but I don't have any thing in it yet! it will be awhile before I have all of the stuff installed. but what a ride when it gets done!!

Not a bad looking wheel though I prefer mine to have a little more lip to them.

This is what i'm going with! pretty heavy though. Oh well I think i will have enough brake and power for them! but damn they look good!!

to each his/her own! i'm pretty satsfied w/ my current setup

I like dish too in 17's.
