so we all know that lightweight wheels help everything on a car, vs a heavier one.



mazda has gone so far as to make the STEERING wheels lightweight too, the mpv wheels are magneseum, i think it actually does make a difference in steering feel.

I meant to take a right officer but the steering wheel already looked like it was spinning that way....

Have you tried aluminum lug nuts? I picture these getting pretty fooked up for people who swap their wheels frequently...

Just do like Paris Hilton and use a velvet scrunchie to fasten your wheels to the hub.
