This may be a longshot, but does anyone have the comparative wheel weight of the alloy wheels and the wire wheels? I know the wires will be heavier than the alloys, but I just wanted to see how much of a gap there is. I imagine the painted wheels are even a little heavier.

These aren't really track cars, so probably negligible, but I simply can't help myself as I am looking at ordering a new car. laugh

Thanks in advance.

You are all right with your arguments in favor of aluminum rims. For me, unreasonableness won out. Just the sight of the spoke rims on my PlusFour brings a smile to my face. 🤗
