I know its a stupid question but my question is i am running my stock rims after i weight them they are 50 lb each (tire/rims). My question is after i go with my oe wheels z06 c6 18x10.5 rims (295/35/18) and 17x9.5 rims (265/40/17) that only weight about 35lb per kit sound i gain a reaction time or loss time overall????Like how much would i gain???or lose???? i know its stupid thanks

Anytime you reduce unsprung weight you gain in performance. Worth a couple of tenths in the quarter and improves handling.
