Wheel weight
How much weight can I save by changing out my 18" steel wheels for 18" alloys? Other than the weight difference, are there any other advantages,of alloys?

You can save an easy ten pounds per wheel.
That's enough to make a difference. It's unsprung weight, so getting those lightened up will result in better braking and acceleration. John B.
