I'm not gonna beat up on you if you can have a meaningful discussion with me.Not trying to get beat up here but the guy did bring up a valid point regarding unsprung weight, tires and wheels.
We do sometimes see folks initially get unsprung weight reduction by buying lightweight wheels only to put substantially wider and heavier than stock tires on. And sure you get better than stock grip. But you lose some of the unsprung weight advantages (better acceleration, braking) those lightweight wheels potentially bring.
Like anything else, mods sometimes have some tradeoffs.
It's always a balancing act and trying to figure out what the best setup is going to be but there isn't one right answer.
Yes, more unsprung weight is bad. And if you look at just that there's no arguing it. But unsprung weight is one factor in a big equation.
