    I'm really glad they have someone on the team that talks about the more technical aspects of wheels, tires, and suspension. Keep doing the thing Sean!

    You guys should add a way to sort wheels by weight if you're going to extol the virtues of lightweight wheels. As it is, I can't tell which wheels weigh more than others on your site.

    This is perhaps the best video I’ve seen on the subject. Many of the ones I’ve viewed do not go into the specifics about the performance benefit gained. The only way it could’ve been better would be to take one vehicle with different weight wheels and tires (one set super light weight, the other with the same size wheels and tires but heavier) and do acceleration, braking, and cornering test with a Vbox to confirm the results.

    I noticed in some budget cars the alloy wheels are heavier than regular steel wheels. Mite go for lighter steel wheels to help on bumpy roads.
    Thank you for this video. Especially 1:55

    21 Ford Bronco with 35 by 12.5 Toyo Tires and KMC Summit Wheels.
    I will never intentionally take this off road and would like a smoother ride.
    If my next set of tires are 33s and maybe lighter Wheels, will this make it rides smoother on the highway?

    I would think that dropping rotating mass, i.e., wheels+tires, would cause a rougher ride because the suspension has not changed, meaning that it is made to push against a higher weight, and with the weight lowered, the suspension will slam the wheel into the ground.

    How can I get a set of directional wheels? (Aodhan AH09). I always need to buy a set of 4, I just want 2 Passenger and 2 Driver side.

    Do lighter wheel makes the ride more comfortable or less comfortable?

    • @fitmentindustriesgarage5583
      @fitmentindustriesgarage5583  Před 3 lety +1

      Lighter wheels have more benefits for performance. But they won’t make the ride less comfortable.

    • @johngregory4801

      Reducing unsprung weight allows the tire to follow the road more easily, reducing the "hit" of most bumps. You're either helping or fighting the inertia of the shock and spring combo, so lighter wheels and tires reduce the load on them as they damp out irregularities.

    what weight in kg would you say is a light wheel ? .

  • @asiamahatta2700
    @asiamahatta2700 Před 4 lety

    But won’t light weight wheels reduce grip?

    • @jameshaulenbeek5931
      @jameshaulenbeek5931 Před 4 lety +2

      Short answer, no. There's a lot that goes into it.

    • @fitmentindustriesgarage5583
      @fitmentindustriesgarage5583  Před 4 lety +5

      Great question! No they wouldn't. Lighter wheels will help your suspension do it's job better. Your suspensions job is to keep your tires in contact with the ground and provide grip over rough surfaces.

      Motegi and Konig make some fantastic, lightweight wheels that are relatively inexpensive.

    Okay, so when you drive your car you body is a sprung weight, but when you leave you car it becomes an unsprung weight?
