Light weight wheels.. Can you feel the difference?

[sschmuve]

The factory 19s ridiculously heavy at 34 lbs. I think that Kia may have done this to dampen the sudden onset of high torque at low rpm (for those that know, like a Mitsubishi Evo does), so the power feels more linear.

Those who have gone lighter, does it change the power delivery? Does the suspension react faster?

Welcome to the forums, from what I've heard, yes it does.

Change in a good or bad way? On my Z I currently have Enkei RPF1s and they each weigh like 18lbs. Is there any reason to believe they won't hold up to the torque of this car?
