High Ridgity vs. Lightweight (wheels)
Hello. I wanted to share with you an article that AME/Endless USA translated into English
regarding the wheel weight vs. wheel rigidity factor. We found it quite interesting and decided
to share with everyone interested in lightweight, 1 pc. sports wheels.

great info - rigidity is very important, especially when you are cramming as big a tire as you can fit in your wheel wells and clearances to fender liners and calipers are down to millimeters.

great info! great post! Thank you for sharing!!
I wonder if the ADVAN RS is more rigid than ADVAN RGII??
I know ADVAN wheels are made by Enkei.. I hope they can put those to test in their next article.

Interesting aritcle. The only thing that where the lightweight wheels seem to have an advantage is the acceleration, but even that fades after the car is traveling a higher speeds. Are there any other tests out there that test for the same thing because it's hard to make a conclusion based on just this one article (especially on what this article says about forged vs. cast)?
