Thanks guys. The Valiant is handling nicely, but I'm going to keep pushing to find ways to get it to he next level. Scored this set of Rotiform Forged 18x10.5 wheels off Craigslist for $400, because one had a small crack at the bead and one had a small dent. They weigh 20 lbs, which is 7 lbs less than my current front wheel, and 9 lbs less than each of my rears...
That is a nice amount of weight dropped and for the money spent averaging under $200 per corner, sell off the old wheels and I bet you are at even money.
Now since you dropped that kind of weight have you noticed better response from the car into and out of the turns? As well as the stopping distance can you go deeper into the corners now?
