My last posts were a bit misleading. Thats wheel torque...but it translates into ~1.5 % quicker. (20lb rims to 14 lb rims)

I don't drag, only road race. I am considering buying rims as my next upgrade. I have done Exhaust, downpipe, intake, and reburned my ECU. I also have added a rear sway bar. Based on your experience do you think rims should be my next upgrade for best bang for the buck upgrade to lower my lap times on a track averinging almost 100mph?
