I know that alloys are less rotating mass which means less power to get spining, but are they really that much better than steelies? On a mild \6 would you see any improvments on your et's or 60' times? And my last question, what are the best steel rims to use?

I have switched from steel wheels to Weld Wheels on 3 different cars and none of them gained so much as .01. However, they did look a lot better. :shock:

Good to hear, I'm just going to run Cragers in the front and some 14" steelies in the rear then. I was just seeing if I would "gain" anything by swapin the rears to but now I only gotta buy 2 :D .
